Ethernet and VLAN Configuration Options
The codec features two physical Ethernet port interfaces and up to four additional VLAN interfaces.
VLAN interfaces have features similar to physical Ethernet interfaces. However, your network
administrator will need to configure VLAN support throughout your network for VLANs to be
supported in your codec.
As an example, if only one physical Ethernet interface is available, VLANs can be used to operate
SmartStream PLUS or separate codec Control and Streaming functions if required.
Following are a range of options which can be configured in the
LAN
menu. After completing
configuration ensure you navigate to
Apply Setting
and press the
button to apply the new
settings.
Configure an IPv4 DHCP Address
By default the codec is programmed for DHCP-assigned IP addresses. DHCP IP addresses are
automatically assigned and can change each time you connect to your Internet Service Provider or
by a router on your local area network (LAN).
1. Press the
SETTINGS
button.
2. Select
LAN
and press the
button.
