Connecting With

DHCP (Recommended)

•Subnet Mask – identifies the subnet mask for the Nº500H series. 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 Nº500H series.

•Host Name – indicates the network name given to the Nº500H series 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 Nº500H series amplifier. The default is “NO500H_xxxxxx” where “x” stands for the last six characters of the unique MAC address for that amplifier.

•DHCP – turns the DHCP capability on or off. When activated, DHCP assigns a unique IP address to the Nº500H series. 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 “http://NO500H_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’s 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.
