Configuration

Ethernet

These options are used to enable or change the Ethernet settings on the STB. Some or all may have been previously configured earlier. See Setting the IP Address on page 4.

Network DHCP

To change to Static, select option

 

 

DNS via DHCP

When using DHCP: If the DNS settings should come from the

 

DHCP server, check the box (for yes). If not, uncheck the box

 

(for no).

 

 

Hostname via DHCP

When using DHCP: If the host name will come from the DHCP

 

server check the box (for yes). If not, uncheck the box (for no).

 

 

VBrick Hostname

Enter a hostname if Hostname via DHCP is set to No or if

 

DHCP enable is set to Static. If you enter an invalid host name,

 

the STB will not start. If no host name is entered, it defaults to the

 

MAC address. The following rules apply to host name:

 

• must less than 19 characters.

 

• first character must be a letter.

 

• last character must be a letter or digit.

 

• interior characters must be letters, digits, or hyphen.

 

• no embedded spaces or special characters are allowed.

 

 

IP Address

If the IP address is static rather than set through DHCP, enter it

 

here.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Set when using a static IP address.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Set when using a static IP address.

 

 

Network Interface

Set the Ethernet interface to the desired speed and duplex of

Speed-Type

operation. Default is Auto (auto-negotiate) but 10Mbps and

 

100Mbps, half and full duplex options are selected if required.

 

You should only select a different option if necessary to

 

interoperate with your network equipment.

 

 

Management

The STB transmits Management SAPs for use by other VBrick devices and/or applications on the network such as VBDirectory or MCS. This menu configures the transmission of these management SAPs. These options are used to enable or change the management settings on the STB.

Group Name

STBs can be assigned to groups for more organized management.

 

This is the group name that the STB is associated with (for example

 

Finance).

 

 

Unit Number

This value represents the specific STB ID when it is part of a group

 

(for example Finance, unit 33).

 

 

Transmit Enable

Enables transmission of the management SAP.

 

 

Retransmit Time

Determines how often (interval) the STB emits the management SAP.
