multiLAN Ver. 3
10/40
3. Basic Setup
The beyertone
®
multiLAN is set up using a web browser on a PC with access to the
network to which the multiLAN appliance is attached. This is done by entering the IP
address or the device name of the beyertone
®
multiLAN in the address bar of a suitable
internet browser in order to access the device configuration and mp3 upload pages.
DHCP is activated by default on shipment. If no DHCP server is found on power up (e.g.
if the appliance is being configured straight from a PC/laptop using a LAN crossover
cable), after a delay of about ten seconds the appliance will use a default IP address
and subnet mask (see Section 10). The DHCP function remains active, however, and
continues to make DHCP requests.
Please see Section 9.1 for additional access
options, e.g. via fixed default service ip.
NOTE:
The
default password
for entering the web configuration menu is '
multilan
'.
Unless a custom device name has been entered, the
default device name
(required for
entering the menu if an IP address was assigned automatically by DHCP and a DNS is
available) is the same as the appliance
device id
(‘Ser.-No.’), which is to be found on
the rear of the appliance, e.g. '2014-1802-10001'.
3.1 General
On entering the correct password for administration in the browser login screen, you will
be taken to the main configuration screen. Here you can access the various
configuration sections for the beyertone
®
multiLAN via the left-hand menu bar.
The main appliance data and settings, e.g. the device id, the device name (relevant for
DHCP), the firmware and hardware versions, any optional licences that have been acti-
vated, and the current network settings, are listed under the menu item 'System / Info'.
The ‘System / Status‘ section shows the current operation mode of the unit, which ports
are active at the time and the status of the network and result of the latest download.
NOTE:
In general, settings are being stored by clicking the disk symbol
(‘save’) in the
corresponding headline.
3.2 Network
In the 'Settings / Network' section (see screenshot on following page), you can edit the
IP addresses to be used by the appliance, the name of the appliance, and its location.
The name of the appliance is used for the DHCP function, if this is active. If no name
has been allocated (empty field), the device id indicated on the 'System / Info' screen is
used for DHCP.
The entry of a DNS server (and optionally a proxy server) is required in order to access
the URL entered in the 'Download' settings for the server to be used for downloading
audio data. The use of an NTP server also permits automatic setting of the appliance's
internal clock, which is e.g. used to perform automatic switching of operation modes.
Activating the NTP function or alternatively setting the internal clock manually is done in
the 'Settings / System' section.
