VIP-300H USER MANUAL
VERSION 1.0
IP Address and Channel settings
In order to work together, VIP300H-U transmitters and receivers require unique IP addresses so they can
discover each other. The VIP300H-U endpoints have three ‘methods’ of IP addressing.
Auto IP (factory default setting)
Auto IP provides automatic IP address assignment when two or more endpoints are on the same
network switch. The default IP subnet is 169.254.nnn.nnn.
In order to discover devices when employing Auto IP, the following methods can be used.
TX (Encoder)
•
Use the VPX IP Management software to discover the TX. Please see VPX reference at end of
manual.
•
Connect the TX to and RX. Connect a display to the RX HDMI output. Do not connect any source
to the TX. The RX will display IP address information for both devices in the lower right corner
of the display area. The ‘local IP’ is the RX address, the ‘host IP’ is the TX address.
RX (Decoder)
•
Use the VPX IP Management software to discover the TX. Please see VPX reference at end of
manual.
•
Connect the RX HDMI output to a display. Do not connect any devices to the RX such as a TX.
The RX will display IP address information in the lower right corner of the display area. The
‘local IP’ is the RX address
DHCP
DHCP mode allows the endpoints to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on the network.
Static
Static IP mode allows the endpoints to be manually set to known IP addresses. Be certain to set the
endpoints to the same IP subnet.
Note: Performing a factory default of the endpoints will set them to Auto IP mode.
