IP Menus
Use the IP menus is to configure the 10/100 port.

MAC Address Menu

Use the following procedure to view the MAC address for the left Ethernet port on
the back panel of the DSR-6000. Press the 56 buttons until the MAC Address
menu appears. This menu displays the Ethernet port MAC address. The address is
represented in a hexadecimal format and it is not editable.

DHCP Menu

Press the 56 buttons until the Port 10/100 DHCP menu appears. The front panel
screen displays the DHCP and Unit Name fields. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol) allows the Satellite Multiplex Decrypter to obtain a set of IP parame-
ters from a DHCP server. The DHCP server ensures that all these IP addresses are
unique. This automates and facilitates the Satellite Multiplex Decrypter's access to
the network. The management of the IP address pool, in this case, is handled by the
server, and not by a human administrator.
DHCP Field Default: Disable
Enter the field and choose either Enable or Disable.
Unit Name Field Default: DSR6000-XXXXX
The Unit Name is fully editable. It is placed into the outgoing DHCP request and is
used for registration. The Unit Name, in most cases, is only a suggestion to the DHCP
server and may be updated with a different name upon receiving the DHCP registration
reply. If an updated name is received from a DHCP server, the Unit Name will be
adjusted to show this change and will replace the user-entered name. The default name
is DSR6000-XXXXX. The XXXXX is the DSR-6000’s IP address in decimal.
