Nº500H Series Power Amplifier
• Subnet Mask – identifies the subnet mask for the Nº500H
series. This IP address is automatically assigned by DHCP.
If DHCP is off, then the address must be entered manually
and must agree with the subnet mask address of the router.
IP address 255.255.255.0 is the factory default value for the
Nº500H series.
• Host Name – indicates the network name given to the
Nº500H series amplifier. This host name is unique to each
amplifier and is comprised of two parts, separated by an
underscore. The first part contains one to eight characters that
can be modified via the internal Web page of the amplifier.
 Thesecondpartofthehostnamecontainsthelastsix
characters of the MAC address. This MAC address is unique to
eachNº500Hseriesamplier.Thedefaultis“NO500H_xxxxxx”
where“x”standsforthelastsixcharactersoftheuniqueMAC
address for that amplifier.
• DHCP – turns the DHCP capability on or off. When activated,
DHCP assigns a unique IP address to the Nº500H series. The
factory default value is On. We recommend leaving DHCP set
to On.
Use this procedure if you are using a router with DHCP active to
connecttotheamplier.Otherwise,skiptothenextprocedure.
1. Connect the amplifier to the router, as described in the earlier
“ConnectingtheCables”procedure.Makesurethateverything
is powered off before making cable connections.
2. TurnonthePCandrouter.VerifythattherouterhasDHCP
active.
3. Press the Power button on the amplifier.
4. Onthecomputer,opentheInternetExplorerWebbrowser.
5. Type“http://NO500H_xxxxxx”ontheaddressline(URL).
The“x”charactersstandforthelastsixcharactersofthe
unique MAC address for that amplifier.
6. Press Enter.
 IfInternetExplorerisunabletondtheamplier,thenyou
must find the IP address that was assigned to the amplifier by
the router. If required, refer to your router’s owner’s manual
for further details. Repeat this step using the IP address for the
amplifier that was assigned by the router.
7. The Home tab of the amplifier’s internal Web page is now
displayed.Thetabisinredtexttoindicatethatit’sthecurrent
page.
The network connection is now complete.
