Assigning a
Hostname
You may change the default name
MODEL552
to something else,
either to personalize the equipment name or to differentiate
one 552 monitor from another one on the same network.
Overtype the default
Hostname:
without using spaces. Be sure
to click the
Save
bar at the bottom once all entries are finalized.
HTTP Port
The default
HTTP Port: 80
is common when accessing networked
equipment like the 552 on a local network (LAN). You may
change this to another number as may be required under cer-
tain circumstances. Remember to
Save
your new setting.
MAC Address
The
MAC Address:
(Machine Access Code) for your particular
552 is factory-assigned and cannot be changed. You may wish
to make note of your unit’s
MAC Address:
to help identify it on
your network.
Link Speed
Link Speed:
is an indication of connection status and the ex-
pected bitrate between your 552 and the local network (LAN).
Addressing
the 552
Under the Windows op-
erating system, you may
access 552 Webpages on
a common LAN by typ-
ing its Hostname and a
forward-slash into the
browser address bar as
shown here. This entry
is not case-sensitive.
Non-Windows browsers
may require you to enter
the complete IP address of the unit, which you can always find
by navigating to the front-panel
Network
menu.
Incoming
Internet Access
To ‘dial into’ the 552 from the Internet, the unit must be as-
signed a static IP address. If your router makes DHCP assign-
ments for other equipment on the network, simply assign a
static IP that is outside the router’s DHCP range. This should
be an easy matter with the aid of the router’s Help utility.
You also need to open a specific port for the 552 on the net-
work router. Within the router’s Port Forwarding utility you
will be able to enter your static IP address for the unit (Internal
IP), followed by a colon and a port number. The port number
may be any number in the router’s range.
If your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) assigns
you a static IP address,
then it is a simple
matter to address the
552 from anywhere.
Just type the IP ad-
dress and port num-
ber into your browser
as pictured here.
