AM-10HD / Aug 2008
A M - 1 0 H D G U I
Start the AM‑10HD GUI software. Then right click on
the control area of the GUI and select Hardware/Assign
IP Address. The window at right will appear:
Next, carefully enter your AM‑10HD’s MAC address
in the MAC Address field. The MAC address must be
carefully entered because the GUI will “send” the IP
address information to the device that owns the MAC
address that was entered in this step. If the MAC address
is incorrect, the AM‑10HD will never “hear” it.
*
The AM‑10HD does not support DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) and therefore requires a
static TCP/IP address on the network. Its presence on
the network will not interfere with DHCP addressing
of other network connected devices as long as the IP
address that is configured for the AM‑10HD does not
conflict with the address of any other device on the
network. Please consult your friendly IT manager if
necessary.
Next, enter a pet name for your AM‑10HD, like WABC, etc.
Then, enter the IP address that you wish the AM‑10HD to have, noting
that this address must be unique if the AM‑10HD will be communicating
over your network.
Next enter the desired Subnet Mask and Gateway IP addresses. In some
cases (but not all) it is sufficient to use the default values as shown on the
screen.
Once this is done, click the “Start” button at the bottom of the IP address
configuration box. A message similar to the one below should appear:
Click OK, remove power to the AM‑10HD for a few
seconds, and then reapply it. As the AM‑10HD is boot‑
ing up, the “Requests” number in the IP Address window
should increment to something other than zero (please see
the bottom of the image at right). When this occurs the
AM‑10HD has been programmed with its new IP address
and is ready for use.
