Discover your MV4 IP Multiviewer on the network. By default, the encoders and decoders are shipped from the factory in DHCP
mode with Auto IP Failover. In DHCP mode, each encoder and decoder unit are automatically assigned a unique IP address by the
DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the encoders and decoders (after about one minute) will “failover” to Auto
IP mode where each encoder and decoder unit assigns itself a unique IP address within the range of 169.254.1.0–169.254.254.255,
with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask and a gateway address of 169.254.0.254.
To configure the units, you must access the web interface of each encoder and decoder using a computer.
In order to communicate with the MV4 IP Multiviewer endpoints, the devices must be on the same subnet as your computer.
You may need to change the computer’s network settings to accomplish this.
On a Microsoft Windows computer, configure your network settings as follows:
1. Click Start menu, go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing center > Change Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection .
Right-click and choose
Properties
.
2. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click Properties . This opens the window you use to configure
your network settings.
To set up your computer to communicate with endpoints that are using
DHCP:
•
Method 1 : If there is a DHCP server on the network, accept Obtain an IP address automatically (the default) . The computer
will be automatically assigned a unique IP address by the DHCP server on the same subnet, allowing communication with
the MV4 encoder/decoders.
•
Method 2
: Configure your computer with a static IP address within the defined DHCP range for your network (the subnet
(VLAN) defined by the DHCP netmask for your network). Choose
Use the following IP address
. Enter an IP address then
click
OK
. To avoid address conflicts, enter a static address that is not in the range of addresses that will be given out by the
DHCP server. For example: If the DHCP range = 192.168.1.100 –192.168.1.150 and netmask = 255.255.255.0, you can assign
192.168.1.151.
To set up your computer to communicate with endpoints that are using Auto IP:
•
Method 1 : If there is no DHCP server on the network, a Windows PC will “failover” to Auto IP in a similar way as the
encoders and decoders. Accept Obtain an IP address automatically (the default) . After about one minute the computer will
assign itself a unique IP address within the range of 169.254.1.0–169.254.254.255, with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask,
allowing communication with the encoders and decoders on the network that are also assigned IP addresses via Auto IP.
