4 Web Interface
You can adjust network settings and monitoring settings of Barix devices via the device's Web
interface. To enter the configuration mode you will need:
•
the IP address, as announced over the audio outputs (see the Quick Install Guide)
•
a standard web browser
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Barix device in the URL field and hit
the “Enter” key.
•
Example: “192.168.0.12”
The FTPMP3 Control page will show up. Click on the needed button to navigate to the
corresponding web UI page (ex. Click on the “Network Configuration” button to open the
network configuration page.

Network settings
This chapter explains how to adjust the network settings of the Barix device.
We recommend that you set a
Static IP
address. With a static (permanent)
IP
address the
device does not have to get a new IP address at power on or reboot.
Use SonicIP
If “Use
SonicIP
” is set to yes, the device will announce its IP address over the audio output
during start up. This feature is useful during implementation, but may not be desirable in a 'live
environment'. Always make a note of any static IP address you assign.
IP Address
Enter the 4 values of the desired static
IP
address e.g.:
•
“192.168.0.12” for an internal LAN
Attention
: Make sure that you enter a free IP address. The device will check this and will not
be available until the device using the same IP is disconnected or switched off. The command
Ping can be used to ensure that a specific IP address is unused (i.e. No reply).
The Barix automatic discovery functions are not executed if a static IP address is set.
Enter 4 zeroes to enable automatic discovery:
•
“0.0.0.0” for automatic discovery (Discovery order: BOOTP,
D
HCP, IPzator
, AutoIP)
To enable automatic discovery but disable certain IP discovery functions, set all but the third
value to zero. For each function you want to disable add the value from the table below:
•
“0.0.1.0” to disable AutoIP
•
“0.0.2.0” to disable DHCP
•
“0.0.4.0” to disable BOOTP
•
“0.0.8.0” to disable IPzator
Examples:
•
“0.0.3.0” disables AutoIP and DHCP
