Network settings
Fix the IP address
Video Server will get IP address automatically whenever it starts unless "Reset the IP address at next boot" is disabled. Administrators can disable this option for fixing the IP address.
Basic network settings
Administrators may need to modify the network settings to fit into existing networks. The subnet mask in some broadband service may differ from the default value 255.255.255.0 and service providers may assign more specific network settings. Administrators should change the configuration to what given by the service provider. The configuration may include "IP address", "Subnet mask", "Default router", "Primary DNS server" and "Secondary DNS server". After changing network settings, be sure to leave "Reset the IP address at next boot" blank to skip next installation when the system restarts. Otherwise those network settings will be erased at the next start.
PPPoE
In PPPoE network interface, username and password are needed for this service. Administrators can get the account from an ISP and set it in the local network. Before setting the PPPoE account, Administrators must set the SMTP or FTP, let the start up log can send out via SMTP or FTP. After configuring the PPPoE setting, put the Video Server in the PPPoE network and power on the server. Administrators can get the IP address from the start up log.
Changing port number of servers
For security or network integration, administrators also can hide the server from the general HTTP port by changing "HTTP port" to other than default 80. "Local FTP server port" can also be changed to other than default 21. Administrators should have enough network knowledge to change the default port.
