If the Media Server will be a client of a third-
party router, follow these steps to configure the 
router.

a.

At the router's web interface, assign a unique 

static IP address to each of the following 

Media Server hosts: 

• mskvh

• cbx-mskvh

• drm-mskvh

• omni-mskvh

b.

Verify that the DHCP server announces the 

NTP server (option 42). 

c.

Set 

ntp.ipmobilecast.com

 to resolve to your 

NTP server. If you don't have an NTP server, 

set it to resolve to mskvh.

d.

At the Media Server's Configure Network 

page, enter the static IP addresses you 

assigned to the hosts, as well as the subnet 

mask, gateway, and DNS (see Figure 19).

e.

At the web interface of your DNS server 

(usually also your router), set up local DNS 

resolutions for the hosts’ domain names as 

specified in Figure 20. 

NOTE: 

Unless you have a separate DNS server on the 

network, your router likely serves as both the gateway 
and the DNS server for the network.

These steps require advanced networking 

expertise. Consult with and get written 

permission from the vessel's ICT specialist/

network administrator before you begin.

IMPORTANT!

The router must support the DHCP NTP 

server option. The DNS server (usually also 

the router) must support local DNS hosts.

IMPORTANT!
