DHCP
is the factory-
default network
Mode:
.
The IP Address: of your
541 appears in the first
box.
DHCP
should work
for you at least initially,
but if your 541 needs a
static IP address, touch
Static IP to unlock the
grayed-out boxes under-
neath. As you then touch
each box, an on-screen
keyboard pops up permit-
ting you to overwrite the
default entries. (Once
connected, you may per-
form this operation more easily using the Webserver interface
covered in the next section.)
Connecting
Bringing up the Webserver
interface is as simple as en-
tering the IP address of the
541 into your browser’s ad-
dress bar and clicking Enter.
Alternatively,
a Windows
computer is able to locate
and connect to the 541 by
using the unit’s ‘Hostname’
followed by a forward slash in place of the IP address. The
Hostname is shown on the 541
Network
menu screen. In the
LCD-touchscreen image on the previous page, the default Host-
name:
is
MODEL541
. This name may be changed to a more con-
venient or personalized identification of the unit, as may be re-
quired to differentiate between multiple units on the same LAN.
Connecting will bring up the
Now Playing Webpage. Starting at
this point in the manual, most setup and operating discussions
and instructions will use this Webpage interface utility, mainly
because it’s easier to navigate and type into. Nevertheless, rest
assured that very nearly anything can be accomplished from
the front panel as well.
