Determining DHCP Setting
One of the main decisions in configuring the network connection on your VX150 to VX2 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.
NOTE
:
DHCP can only be set from on/off from the front panel UI.
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.
NOTE
:
A nameserver: (also called a DNS) translates a host name (e.g., mail.nautel.com) to an IP address
such as in configuring email (see
Network on page 2.2.54
and
Email Server on page 2.2.58
).
Network Setup - Using the AUI
NOTE
:
The following settings should be entered/vetted by a qualified Network Administrator
.
By entering the VX150 to VX2’s established IP address into an Internet browser’s address bar, and then
logging into the AUI, you can view the network parameters (see
Figure 2.2.31 on page 2.2.54 ). You can
only edit parameters from the FPUI, refer to Network - see page 2.2.100 ).
The Status field identifies the status of the network.
• RUNNING: transmitter is connected to a network and is functioning properly.
•
NOT RUNNING: transmitter is not connected or is not functioning properly. When in this
state, remote AUI access is not possible.
