Modify Network Settings
This section describes how to modify the network settings of the PCS500R Ethernet ports. The Control Port is
used for remote management/communication purposes, while the Feature Port is designated for PCS500R IP
output.
Note
:
It is highly recommended that the Feature Port (if in use) be configured with a static IP address, regardless
of whether you are configuring the system for Multicast Mode or Unicast Mode, as the Feature Port IP address
is embedded in every deployed Pro:Centric application project. After a project has been deployed and any TVs/
STBs (to which the project has been deployed) complete a boot cycle, the TVs/STBs automap themselves to the
Pro:Centric server using the Feature Port IP address. If the Feature Port IP address is assigned by a DHCP server,
and the DHCP server experiences an interruption, the IP address assignment may change, and this will cause a
Pro:Centric interruption.
1 Log in to the PCS500R as described on the previous page.

Host Name (via TUI)” on pages 31 for further information.
