Appliance Setup

If you want to configure a static IP address, you must do it while the unit is operating in limited run mode. You cannot access the appliance while it is searching for DHCP server. You can set a static IP address with the Remote Control or with HyperTerminal as explained below.

3.If DHCP is successful, the monitor (MPEG appliances only) will display the VBrick logo in the lower right corner, and audio and video will be present. If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway IP Address or DNS server address, these parameters will replace the user-entered Gateway and DNS settings. If the DHCP server does not provide Gateway information, and if a Gateway is required for your network, you will need to

manually enter a Gateway IP Address.

TTo configure a gateway with the remote control:

1.Enter a Subnet Mask and press Select.

2.Enter a Gateway IP Address (see note below) and press Select. The appliance will

reboot with the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configured.

3.MPEG appliances only. Connect the VBrick to another VBrick over the network using an Ethernet switch. For unicast, the destination IP Address of the encoding VBrick should be the IP Address of the decoding VBrick. Make sure the respective destination and receive ports also match.

Note If the DHCP server supplies the Gateway Address or DNS server address, these parameters will replace any user-entered Gateway and DNS settings. If the DHCP server does not provide Gateway information, and if a Gateway is required for your network, you will need to enter it manually.

Set the IP Address with the Remote Control

As noted, VBrick WM Appliances are shipped with a factory default address of 172.17.5.5. If necessary, you can change this IP address using the handheld IR Remote control. Remember that you cannot have multiple VBricks with the same IP address. Use the * button for the decimal point and the Left and Right buttons to erase.

TTo set the IP Address with the IR Remote control:

1.Aim the remote control at the IR port on the front panel and press Local Edit. The display on the front panel of the VBrick will request the password.

2.Press 23646 ("admin" numerically) and press Select on the remote control.

3.If the network is DHCP-capable and you want the network to select an IP address, press "Y" and then press Select. The VBrick will reboot and obtain an IP address. Otherwise press Select to continue.

4.Enter desired IP address. (Use the * button for the decimal point and the left/right buttons to erase characters entered by mistake.)

5.When done, press Select. If the remaining settings do not need to be modified press

Select again.

6.If the IP, subnet mask or gateway addresses have been modified and there are no errors, the VBrick will reboot.

Set the IP Address with HyperTerminal

TTo set the IP Address with HyperTerminal:

1.Connect an ASCII terminal (e.g. HyperTerminal, shipped with Windows 95/98/2000/ NT/XP) from the RJ-45 serial port (COM2) on the rear of the VBrick to the COM port
