OMMUNICATIONS
The Network configuration pages include the following:
• IP Settings: Allow you to change the IP address.
• Network Services: Allow you to enable and disable access to various network services such as ADDP,
RealPort, Encrypted RealPort, Telnet™, HTTP/HTTPS, VNC Client Listen Daemon, VNC Server, etc.
• Advanced Network Settings allow you to alter the Ethernet interface speed and mode, TCP/IP settings,
TCP keep-alive settings, or DHCP settings.
Alternatives for Configuring Network Communications
You can configure a Remote Video System IP in three ways.
• Use dynamic settings. The network auto-assigns all network settings, using a protocol called DHCP. Contact
your network administrator to find out if a DHCP server is available.
• Use static settings. Set all network settings manually. (These settings will not change.) The IP address and
subnet mask are mandatory. The rest are not, but they may be needed for some functions. Contact your
network administrator for the appropriate values.
• Use Auto-IP. Auto-IP will assign your device an IP address immediately after it is plugged in. If you are
running DHCP or ADDP, the Auto-IP address will be overridden and a network compatible IP address will
be assigned. Or, you can assign the device a static IP address.
Additional Considerations
Even if a DHCP server is available, your configuration may work better with static settings. Once set, static
settings will not change, so you and other network devices can always find the Remote Video System IP by the IP
address. With dynamic settings, the DHCP server can change the IP address. This can happen frequently or
infrequently depending on how it has been configured by your network administrator.
When the IP address does change, you and other network devices configured to talk to it will no longer be able
to. You will then need to find the Remote Video System IP again using the RVS Device Setup Wizard on your
CD. You must also reconfigure other network devices that you want to talk to this Remote Video System IP.
View and Change IP Settings, as Needed
The IP Settings page shows how the Remote Video System IP’s IP address is obtained, either by DHCP or by
using a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you do not know what these settings mean, or
when you may be asked to supply these values, contact your network administrator. Also see the online help for
descriptions of these settings.
Enable or Disable Network Services
The Network Services page shows a set of common network services that are available for devices and the port
on which the service is running.
You can enable or disable several common network services and configure the TCP port they listen on. Disable
services for security purposes. Disable certain services so that a device is running only those services specifically
needed by the device. As needed, and to improve device security, also disable any nonsecure services, such as
Telnet.
