Now you are ready to import new, updated software or jpeg images to and from your MX-4 DV. Details about how to transfer files are described in further detail in “Transferring Files TO or FROM the MX-4 DV” on page 130.

To connect to a network (Dynamic IP):

1Set the IP address to 0.0.0.0 to indicate that you want DHCP, or it will stay static.

2Power down the MX-4 DV.

3Connect the MX-4 DV to your network with a standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable, just as you would network a computer.

4Power up. DHCP is the default mode. To determine if an IP address has automatically been assigned, press SHIFT+SETUP/FTP.

A non-zero number should appear on the screen. Contact your network administrator if this doesn’t occur, to verify that your network has a working DHCP server.

5To prevent unauthorized users from corrupting your system, use the password setting within the MX-4 DV ftp menu. FOCUS Enhancements recommends that while using a DHCP IP address, you arrow down and type in from your number keypad a code to lockout unauthorized users. If the password is set to “222” on the mixer, for example, then you should apply “222” to the access section of your ftp page.

The MX-4 DV is now networked, and it should be visible as an FTP device.
