MultiPlayer - Setting/Modifying IP Address
The MultiPlayer ships with a factory default static IP Address: 192.168.0.220. To match a
station’s network configuration the IP address will most likely need changing which requires
initially logging in to the MultiPlayer at the 192.168.0.220 address to modify IP configuration.
(Additional information on configuring a PC network connection can be found in the Appendix.)
A CAT-5 network crossover cable is shipped with the MultiPlayer to allow direct connection from
a PC network interface to the MultiPlayer network port.
CAUTION
: Before directly connecting a PC to the MultiPlayer always verify the cable is a
crossover by referencing the picture in Figure 7.
Failure to use a crossover cable may either
cause the interface to not work, and one or both network ports may be damaged.
To assure a stable and steady connection with the AMC, the MultiPlayer should be configured with a static IP address. Consult
the IT department to determine the following information:
Static IP Address _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _
Gateway _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _
Subnet Mask _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _
