DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Menus
4-17
The first line on this menu is IP Config, which lets you choose Manual or
Automatic configuration. If you choose Automatic, the DP564 uses DHCP
protocol to request an IP address from the network server.
Note: Dynamic DNS updates must be enabled at the DHCP server for the DP564
automatic mode to register the host name on the network. The DNS server in
the network should support Dynamic DNS.
The default setting for Host Name is DP564. If you have more than one DP564 on
the network, name each unit to uniquely identify it. If the network does not support
automatic DNS configuration, choose Manual, or use IP address instead of host
name to connect to the DP564.
Note: For any change in the Network Settings menu to take effect, you must
reboot the DP564.
To reboot, press Shift + Esc + ► simultaneously.
To verify the automatic configuration, after rebooting the DP564, view the System
Status menu. IP, Mask, and Route should each display a valid address. If the
network supports DNS, DNS also shows a valid address. If no assignment is made,
DNS shows N/A.
If your network is not a DHCP server network, choose Manual on the IP Config
menu. Contact your network administrator to get the appropriate settings for Domain
Name, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server.
The network administrator registers the host name on the network. There is no
verification step for manual configuration.
Connection to a single computer for remote and streaming operation requires manual
assignments for IP Address and Subnet Mask only. In this simple setup, use IP
address (instead of host name) to connect to the DP564, because the domain name
server is not configured. This setup can also be used to connect the DP564 to other
PCs in the same LAN or subnet without specifying the default gateway.
