the IP of the receiver may change each time the receiver is rebooted. Turning DHCP off
will ensure that a static, or non-changing, IP is assigned to the receiver as opposed to a
dynamic one determined at each startup of the receiver. The IP address assigned to the
receiver can be found automatically using the xping discovery tool. For direction on
turning DHCP on or off, refer to Section 6.1.3. For instructions on finding the IP address
using the xping tool, refer to Section 5.
2.6.3 Assigning a TCP/IP Address
The TCP/IP address of the receiver serves as its identification number on the local
network. Once the receiver is set up properly on a network, it will host a website which
can be loaded by typing its IP address into any standard web browser. Therefore the
ability to specify a static IP address for the receiver may be useful. To view and modify
the IP address, refer to Section 6.1.3.
2.6.4 Assigning a Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to determine where the network number in an IP address ends
and the node number in an IP address begins. A node is any device on a network that
needs a unique IP address to communicate (computer, server, router, PRO1 Receiver,
etc.). To set this value for your purposes, refer to Section 6.1.3.
2.6.5 Assigning a Default Gateway
A
gateway
refers to a router or host which grants access to the internet. If you have not
enabled DHCP, you must specify the TCP/IP address of this default gateway. To set this
value, refer to Section 6.1.3.
2.6.6 Proxy Server Configuration
A proxy server can be configured through the Receiver Web Interface or through the
command line interface. To modify the proxy server through the command line, refer to
the E0/E1 PROXY commands in Section 4.2.2 or through the Receiver Web Interface
from Section 6.1.3.
2.6.7 DNS Server Configuration
The DNS Server settings must be configured using the Receiver Web Interface or
through the command line, see Section 4.2.2 and Section 6.1.3.
