Figure 12. LAN IP parameters.
IP parameters can be set in this section as shown in Figure 12.
Selecting the “Enable DHCP client” check box will use a home router’s DHCP server to automatically assign
the IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS server). Leave the check box unchecked if you want to
set “IP address”, “Subnet mask”, “Gateway”, “DNS server” manually. The application will restart if the IP address
is changed.
“WEB port” is the port number of the control interface. The default value is 80. DO NOT change it unless you
really need to have a different WEB port number other than 80. If you accidentally change it and can no longer
access the control interface, use the “IP reset” feature by pressing and holding the Reset button on the device
back panel. Read section 6 for more information.
“Streaming port” is the port number of the streaming port. A full system restart is required if this port is
changed.
The device supports the mDNS (Multicast DNS) protocol to access it at the domain name instead of the IP
address. The
.local
domain name extension is used for such domain names and is only available on the local
network.
There are two domain names used to help you access the device WEB control interface.
“Unique local network DNS entry” is the unique device domain name in the local network. You can access the
device using this unique address entry even if there are multiple steamers in the same network. Use the following
domain name:
http://<serial>.local
Where <serial> is the unit’s 16 symbols length serial number located on the label of the bottom device side.
You can see the example of such a URL in figure 12.
“User-specified local network DNS entry” – user assigned domain name for accessing the device WEB
control interface. Ensure that only one device exists in the same network with the same user-specified local
network DNS entry. Otherwise accessing the WEB control interface by address
http://iptv.local
(or other user-
assigned name) will not work.
Be sure to prefix the domain name with
http://
as some browsers may simply redirect you to a search engine.
This protocol is supported by Windows and macOS, iOS. It is NOT supported on Android and Linux.
5.5.2 Remote access
The device supports UPnP router management so that the router can be configured to allow remote
connections just with a single click.
Figure 13. UPnP router management.
“Local port“ is the device internally used port.
“External port“ is a port number used to access the device remotely or receive video streams.
“Streaming port” is a port number used for video streaming. The external streaming port value should be
equal to the local streaming port value. Otherwise “Terra TV” app or third-party video players may not work
correctly.
“WEB port“ is the device control port number. Enable this port to access the device WEB interface remotely.
Also, enable this port to use the “Terra TV“ Android App remotely.
The “Debug port” can only be used if you have a problem and ask the Support for help to resolve it.
Otherwise, keep it off.
An “External IP address” is an IP address that can be used to access the device remotely. When you start
your device for the first time, it will try to set this address automatically (a connection to the internet is required).
Also, after successful UPnP configuration, this IP address is read from the router. You can change this IP
address manually if you think the value displayed here is incorrect.
NOTE: use the following IP address template to access the device remotely:
http://<external_IP_adress>:<external_WEB_port>
