the
name when finished. Host Names are entered in all-capital let-
ters and the Hostname assignment cannot include spaces. It is
not necessary to use all-caps when addressing the monitor,
however. Under Windows operating systems you may access
the AARON 650 through a Web
browser on the same network
simply by typing its name and a
forward-slash into the browser
address bar as shown here.
Non-Windows browsers may require you to enter the complete
IP address of the unit, which you may find by front-panel navi-
gating to:
Setup / Network / IP Settings
.
ACCESSING THE AARON 650 REMOTELY
On a common local network (LAN), access the receiver’s Web in-
terface by entering its IP address or, under Windows, its Host
Name into your browser’s address bar as shown above.
To address the AARON 650 from outside your LAN (from the
Internet), the unit must have a static IP address. If your router
makes DHCP assignments for other equipment on the network,
simply assign the receiver a static IP that is outside the router’s
DHCP range. This is an easy matter with the aid of the router’s
Help utility.
It is also necessary to open a specific port for the AARON 650
on the network router. Within the router’s Port Forwarding util-
ity you will be able to enter your static IP address for the unit
(Internal IP), followed by a colon and a port number. The port
number may be any number in the router’s range. If your In-
ternet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you a static IP address,
then it is a simple matter to address the receiver from any-
where. Just type the IP
address and port num-
ber into your browser
as shown in this ex-
ample.
But if your ISP issues you a
dynamic IP, which is most often the
case, this mandates ‘Dynamic DNS’ operation, using the ser-
vices of an IP-forwarding provider.
Dynamic DNS
It would not be possible to address equipment behind a dynam-
ic IP address if it were not for IP-forwarding providers available
on the Internet. Their services, which are either free or at a
very modest charge, will allow the AARON 650 to keep the pro-
vider apprised of its reassigned IP address each time that ad-
dress is updated by the ISP. The IP-forwarding provider inter-
cepts data attempting to connect with the receiver and converts
the IP address to the updated one.
