Assigning a
Hostname
You may change the default name
MODEL551
to something else,
either to personalize the equipment name or to differentiate
one 551 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 551 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
551 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 551 and the local network (LAN).
Addressing
the 551
Under the Windows
operating system, you
may access 551 Web-
pages on a common
LAN by typing its
Hostname and a for-
ward-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 551 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 551 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 Ser-
vice Provider (ISP) as-
signs you a static IP
address, then it is a
simple matter to ad-
dress the 551 from
anywhere. Just type
the IP address and
port number into your
browser as pictured here.
