DHCP:
This option selects control port IP address configuration by DHCP. If
this option is selected, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields
are not shown.
•
IP Address:
This field is only shown if
IP Configuration
is set to
Static IP
. Enter the
desired control port IP address.
•
Subnet Mask:
This field is only shown if
IP Configuration
is set to
Static IP
. Enter the
desired control port subnet mask.
•
Default Gateway:
This field is only shown if
IP Configuration
is set to
Static IP
.
Enter the desired control port default gateway.
•
DNS Server:
This field is only shown if
IP Configuration
is set to
Static IP
. The BBG-
1090-DEC-MPEG needs DNS for the HLS and RTMP Client protocols, if you wish to
specify the server by name instead of IP address. If you do not need DNS, you can leave
this field at 0.0.0.0. If your BBG-1090-DEC-MPEG is connected to the Internet and you
do not have a local DNS server, a good option is the Google public DNS at 8.8.8.8.
NTP Server:
If you want the unit to be NTP-synchronized (for logging purposes), enter the IP
address of an accessible NTP server in this field. If you do not need NTP, you can leave this
field at 0.0.0.0

Control Port Statistics Tab
The Control Port statistics screen is depicted below. It contains the current settings for the

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS server obtained from the DHCP server. It also includes
the link state for the control Ethernet port.
