Networked mode guidelines
■
If you operate on a private Wide Area Network (WAN), make sure you have the required bandwidth.
For a private WAN to be supported, you should have Quality of Service (QoS) and a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) tunnel. For additional details, contact Rose.
■
When changing connections, ensure that all connectors are securely fastened.
■
Only change the connections of Transmitters and Receivers that are turned off.
■
Make sure UltraLink Device Manager software is installed on a separate computer which is connected
to the network.
■
Use the UltraLink Device Manager software to allow appropriate connections between Transmitters and
Receivers. For more information, see the UltraLink Device Manager User Guide.
■
Make sure all Transmitters and Receivers have firmware updated to the latest version (
). The firmware must match the version of the UltraLink Device Manager
software.
■
A DHCP server is required to assign devices an initial IP address.
■
With Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2008 R2, make sure the SSDP Discovery service,
network discovery, and file sharing options are enabled.
■
Review the product safety information provided (
).
Validating network discovery
UltraLink E-Series devices are initially assigned IP addresses through DHCP (Dynamic Host Control
Protocol). After connecting and powering up the Transmitters and Receivers, verify that all have been
discovered by the network.
