•DHCP – turns the DHCP capability on or off. When activated, DHCP assigns a unique IP address to the Nº53. The factory default value is On. We recommend leaving DHCP set to On.

Use this procedure if you are using a router with DHCP active to connect to the amplifier. Otherwise, skip to the next procedure.

1.Connect the amplifier to the router, as described in the earlier “Connecting the Cables” procedure. Make sure that everything is powered off before making cable connections.

2.Turn on the PC and router. Verify that the router has DHCP active.

3.Press the Power button on the amplifier.

4.On the computer, open the Internet Explorer Web browser.

5.Type “NO53_xxxxxx” on the address line (URL). The “x” characters stand for the last six characters of the unique MAC address for that amplifier.

6.Press Enter.

If Internet Explorer is unable to find the amplifier, then you must find the IP address that was assigned to the amplifier by the router. If required, refer to your router’s owner’s manual for further details. Repeat this step using the IP address for the amplifier that was assigned by the router.

7.The Home tab of the amplifier internal Web page is now displayed. The tab is in red text to indicate that it’s the current page.

The network connection is now complete.

If DHCP is not used, then the computer must be set up too. Use this procedure to set up the computer, then continue to the next procedure to connect to the amplifier. For the computer to find the amplifier, the LAN (Local Area Network) and TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) settings of the computer must be set up. The parameter setups vary slightly depending upon the operating system of the computer. Refer to the procedure below that matches the operating system on your computer.

Due to your preference settings in the Windows operating system, the names and order of the dialog boxes may vary slightly from these instructions.
