Changing the IP Address
By default, the set top box is configured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
and will automatically retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server if present. If a DHCP
server is not present or unavailable, you can configure the set top box with a static IP address
and other network options. If you have the VBDirectory management program installed you
easily find any networked VBrick devices. See VBDirectory on page 30 for more information.
To find the IP address launch the Setup program as explained below or in Local Mode use
the remote control (use the unlabeled third button down on the right). Then move the cursor
to the Information icon in the lower left area of any page and click on the Info icon This will
display the IP Address, MAC Address, Firmware Version, and other data (see Figure 8). The
set top box is configured for DHCP by default and will automatically acquire an IP address
when plugged in if your network is DHCP-enabled.
