Network Setup
You can configure network settings using the local front panel UI (see Network Setup - Using the Front
Panel or the remote AUI (see Network Setup - Using the AUI, on page 3.2.94 ). If you change a network
setting on the front panel UI, it will also be reflected on the remote AUI, and vice versa.
NOTE:
Nautel recommends that the following network settings be entered/vetted by a qualified
Network Administrator. If parameters are changed and the AUI is reset, record the new values (or see
the local front panel UI) to ensure you can log in after changes have been made.
Determining DHCP Setting
One of the main decisions in configuring the network connection on your NV30LT-N transmitter is
whether you set DHCP to
ON or OFF . If you are connecting to a network, consult with a network
administrator before connecting the transmitter to your network to determine whether to enable (turn
ON
) or disable (turn
OFF
) the DHCP setting.
When DHCP is set to ON (default from factory), IP addresses are assigned automatically by the network
server. In order for this feature to function properly, you must have a network-viewable DHCP server on
your network.
If a DHCP server is not present, you (or your network administrator) must provide static addresses for IP,
netmask, gateway and nameservers (gateway and nameservers are optional). You must enter them
manually using the transmitter’s front panel. In this case, DHCP should be set to
OFF
.
