Password none In order to prevent unauthorized tam-
pering with the configuration, the unit
may be password protected. The pass-
word needs to be repeated correctly
before password protection is activated.
Once password protection is enabled,
you need to login, before the configura-
tion pages may be accessed (Figure 13).
Note that transmission of video and
audio is not affected by the password.
Restricted access to the unit in general
has to be dealt with on the network level,
for example by filtering IP traffic.
IP address 192.168.0.1
(192.168.0.2 for
VIP
receiver)
Enter a unique IP address which is valid
for your network. The pre-configured
default IP address allows for easy confi-
guration in closed environments. You
may use a cable with crossed wiring to
directly connect to a PC. Also, the PC’s
IP address and subnet mask must match
the default IP address.
Note that changing the IP address also
affects the current Browser connection.
You will have to enter the new URL to
regain connectivity to the
VIP
unit.
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Exchange with a valid subnet mask for
your network, if subnets are in use.
Gateway IP address none Only required if the
VIP
unit should con-
nect autonomously, for example when
the input is activated: if the destination IP
address cannot be resolved by local ARP
requests for a corresponding MAC
address, ARP uses the gateway for
address resolution.
DHCP on Activates/deactivates the usage of the
DHCP protocol for automatic allocation
of an IP address after power up.
Mail Server IP addr. none Only required if the mail sending feature
is to be used: outgoing email is send to
the mail server (SMTP server) at the given
IP address.
Mail reply address none Similar to the name field: the recipient of
the email will identify the sender of the
email by this entry.
