•Status Information – provides basic status information of the Nº53 amplifier.

•Error Reporting – tracks system-related error messages for the Nº53 amplifier. This page is a diagnostics tool for Mark Levinson Customer Service use.

Network Setup Parameters

The Nº53 MUST be connected to a computer via the Ethernet port before you can access the internal Web page. Continue to the next section – “Network Setup” – for further instructions.

The Web page also has a Restore Defaults button, which resets the parameters to their factory default values. Clicking the Restore Defaults button displays a pop-up asking for confirmation; click Yes to restore the factory default values.

Accessible only through the Nº53 internal Web page, the network setup parameters include:

15

•Static IP Address – provides a fixed IP address. This IP address is NOT automatically selected; it must be entered. If DHCP is on, then this parameter is not used. IP address 192.168.50.4 is the factory default value for the Nº53.

•Subnet Mask – identifies the subnet mask for the Nº53. This IP address is automatically assigned by DHCP. If DHCP is off, then the address must be entered manually and must agree with the subnet mask address of the router. IP address 255.255.255.0 is the factory default value for the Nº53.

•Host Name – indicates the network name given to the Nº53 amplifier. This host name is unique to each amplifier and is comprised of two parts, separated by an underscore. The first part contains one to eight characters that can be modified via the internal Web page of the amplifier.

The second part of the host name contains the last six characters of the MAC address. This MAC address is unique to each Nº53 amplifier. The default is “NO53_xxxxxx” where “x” stands for the last six characters of the unique MAC address for that amplifier.
