Setting up DB6
18 DB6 Single / Multi / AES – Firmware version 1.30
Changing subnet mask and
TCP/IP address of a DB6
To change the subnet mask and TCP/IP address
of a DB6, you need to access it using a computer
running the TC Icon software. This means that
in case of an IP address conflict that keeps you
from accessing DB6 in the first place, you need
to change your
computer’s IP first as described
in the previous section.
– Launch the TC Icon software on your comput-
er.
– Select the particular DB6 you want to access.
– Click on the Frame tab.
– Select the System page.
– Select the Setup subpage.
– Select Net.
To change the IP address:
– Select the IP address parameter.
– Enter the new IP address.
– Confirm by clicking Enter.
To change the subnet mask:
– Select the IP Subnet Mask parameter.
– Enter the new subnet mask.
– Confirm by clicking Enter.
Resetting the IP address of a DB6
You may need to reset the IP address of a DB6.
This procedure is described in the section “Front
panel reset button” on page 13.
If the serial number of a particular DB6 ends with
“00”, the default IP address for this device will be
192.168.1.100, as “00” is not a valid IP number in
all networks.
There is a small risk that two DB6 (or other TC
signal processors) on a network have the same
last two digits in the serial number and thus will
conflict after a reset. To resolve this issue, reset
one DB6 first and change its IP address before
connecting the second DB6.
