Finding the DHCP IP Address

TTo determine the IP address of the set top box when configured using DHCP:

1.Connect a keyboard and TV monitor to the set top box and apply power. (Use the optional wireless keyboard or a PS/2 keyboard). Wait for the box to completely power up before continuing.

2.Press Ctrl-Alt-F1on the keyboard to open a command line window.

3.At the prompt type ifconfig and press Enter. This shows the IP address, the network interface configuration, and other parameters.

4.Reboot by powering the STB on and off using Power push button on front of unit.

Note If DHCP is enabled and DNS via DHCP is configured to yes, the configured domain searchlist and domain name servers are ignored. The DHCP server must provide the IP address of the DNS server for host name resolution to work properly. If the DHCP server does not supply a default domain or domain searchlist, fully qualified domain names must be used wherever an IP address or domain name is configured (for example in the MCS Location, Receive Address, Local UI location, or home page location on the Video Setup configuration page).

Assigning a Static IP Address
