2. The IP address of Prodys Codec and the PC from which we are trying to
access the web page are not in the same subnet, even although they are
connected to the same LAN. The default factory settings for the IP
address and netmask are 192.168.100.100 and 255.255.255.0
respectively. The user must change the IP settings in the computer or in
Prodys Codec to match the same network.
To change the IP address of Prodys Codec, the user can use the control
keypad or the web page. In the menu, it is set by selecting CONF-PORTS-
LAN. The IP settings can be entered manually or they can be obtained
automatically when the unit starts from a DHCP server.
Once the IP setting on the PC and the Prodys Codec are configured
properly, you can check that IP connectivity exists by typing the following
command at the command prompt of the operating system: C:>ping
192.168.100.100
↵
. This tool will inform the user whether there is IP
connectivity between the PC and Prodys Codec or not. If there is IP
connectivity bur the problem still persists please refer to point 4.
3.
The PC and Prodys Codec are not connected to the same LAN, but
connected through a router. This connection could be, for example, a
connection over the Internet with DSL routers. In this case, to access and
operate the Prodys Codec, the router should open the a “Web Server Port”
(this is by default HTTP port 80) and a range of 30 TCP ports from the
“Base Port” on (default from 50011 until 50041) and forward this traffic to
the Prodys Codec IP address. See pop up window of section “VIII.2.1.1.1-
PORTS” for setting these equipment parameters.
