Vislink recommends that you change the IP address to a unique value. See
Setup—
Identification Screen
Setting System Parameters (Setup Tab)
for
information about these settings. The system has been set to the factory default. If you
retain the default IP address, take care to avoid network address conflict issues. Devices
with the same IP address should not be placed on the same local network.
Before connecting to the
MGMT
port, contact your system administrator to see if the
factory settings will clash with addresses on your network. If you configure multiple
devices individually using a crossover cable from the unit to a PC, be sure to refresh the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table between configuration (
arp -d
).
The ARP table stores the physical network locations (MAC address) of the network (IP)
addresses of the devices with which it communicates. You can view the ARP table by
typing
arp -a
in a Windows command prompt. To refresh the ARP table, type
arp -d
which forces the PC to get the IP and MAC addresses again.

Setup—Identification Screen
in
