Section V
NETWORKING CONSIDERATIONS
The previous brief introduction to network connection and set-
up allowed use of the Web interface for processor, stereo-gen
and RDS setup. This section of the manual will go into a bit
more detail on some points already covered, and will address
other aspects and additional DAVID IV functions that require a
better understanding of networking the unit.
From the start we encouraged use of the Web interface for
DAVID IV setup and operation, but noting the more subtle de-
partures from front-panel operation. As this section is about
networking, discussions will reference Webpage setup exclu-
sively, although most of what can be done with the Webpages
can also be done from the front panel.
Much of what will be discussed here will be best understood,
interpreted and executed by the station’s IT department. Don’t
hesitate to ask for help.
COMMUNICATING FROM OUTSIDE THE LOCAL NETWORK
Static IP
Assignment
To address the DAVID IV from outside your Local Area Network
(LAN), the unit must have a static IP address assigned, rather
than operating in DHCP mode with the IP assigned by a router.
The static IP must be outside the router’s DHCP range.
On the
Network
Webpage, set
Mode:
to

. This unlocks the

fields. You
must enter data into these fields using proper decimal-
delineated numbers as dictated by the specific requirements of
your network. Definitely a job for your IT department.
Hostname
As touched-on previously, the Hostname , or ‘Network Nick-
name’ of your DAVID IV, can be changed from the factory-
default
MODEL719N
to a name of your choice, for instance to
differentiate one processor from another on the same local
network. The Hostname,
followed by a forward
slash, can then be used
to open the Web inter-
face on a Windows com-
puter. An example of a
possible rename is de-
