Network parameters
—
The
IP
field contains the IP address of one the two the media player ports.
The
Netmask
field is used to determine whether the media player is on the same subnet
as the controlling PC when you are subnetting (see “
Subnetting — A Primer
“ for more
information).
The
Gateway
IP
Address
field identifies the address if you choose to use the media player
as a gateway to another device that is not on the same subnet.
Valid addresses for all fields above consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields,
properly called octets, separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000
through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per field, are optional.
The
Enable
DHCP
check box directs the media player to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable). Contact the
local system administrator to determine whether to use DHCP.
NOTES:
•
The factory default IP, netmask, and gateway addresses are as follows:
LAN (Network Interface) 1
:
IP address: 192.168.254.254
Netmask address: 255.255.0.0
LAN (Network Interface) 2
:
IP address: 192.168.254.253
Netmask address: 255.255.0.0
Both ports
:
Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
DHCP: Off
•
If these values conflict with other equipment at your installation, you can
change the addresses to any valid value.
•
Editing the settings for an Ethernet port on which you have an active
connection can immediately disconnect the media player from the network
•
If DHCP is enabled, the IP address and Netmask settings are disabled but can
be viewed from the front panel. Disable DHCP to change the IP address and
Netmask settings.
