VideoJet 8000 65
Warning!
Changes to the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address are sent to
the unit when the
Set button is clicked. However, they only take effect after
the unit is restarted!
– Click Set after entering a new IP address.
– To do this, enter the old IP address in the address field of the Web browser
and append
/reset
to it (e.g.
192.168.0.80/reset
). The VideoJet 8000
will be restarted after which it can only be accessed at the new IP address.
Internet IP address:
Enter the desired IP address for the VideoJet 8000 in this field. The IP address
must be valid for the network.
Subnet mask:
Enter the subnet mask here if the unit is to communicate via a subnet.
Gateway IP address:
Enter the corresponding IP address here if the unit is to establish a connection
independently outside the local network. Otherwise, this field can remain empty
(0.0.0.0).
Note
If a switch is used additional settings must be configured in expert mode
(see page 103).
Multicast configuration
In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver
(unicast), the VideoJet 8000 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video
signal from an encoder simultaneously. This is achieved either by duplicating the
data stream in the unit with subsequent distribution to multiple receivers (multi-
unicast) or by distribution of a single data stream over the network to a number
of receivers in a defined group (multicast). A dedicated multicast address and
port can be specified for each of the eight encoders.
Note
The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network
using the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group membership protocols are
not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.
