Figure 3-3 – Front panel IP configuration screen
Important!
The Control and AES67 Ethernet connections both require 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) switch ports in order to
work properly.
If both the Control and AES67 ports will be used, they must be in different subnets. In-band control is
available using the AES67 port.
If only one port will be used, set the unused port to “Static IP” with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0, a Subnet Mask of
0.0.0.1, and a Gateway of 0.0.0.0.
By default, the LA-5291 will automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server which will suffice to provide
initial remote access to the unit for configuration purposes. A fixed IP address will be preferred in most cases and
can be set as follows:
1.
Press the OK button to highlight “Edit”
2.
Press OK again to highlight “Use DHCP”
3.
Press the Right button to highlight “Yes”
4.
Press the Up/Down button to “No”
5.
Press the Left button to highlight the “Static IP Address” fields
a.
Press the Down button to highlight “Address”
b.
Press the Right button to move to the first digit of the IP address
c.
Use the Up/Down buttons to change the selection
d.
Press the Right/Left buttons to select another digit to edit
