10/100 DHCP Menu

Press the  buttons until the Port 10/100 DHCP menu appears. The front panel screen displays the DHCP and Unit Name fields. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the Satel- lite Multiplex Decrypter to obtain a set of IP parameters from a DHCP server. The DHCP server ensures that all these IP addresses are unique. This automates and facilitates the unit'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.

PORT 10/100	DHCP	Unit Name
E	Disable	DSR640X-XXXXX

DHCP Field Default: Disable

Move into the field and choose either Enable or Disable.

Unit Name Field Default: DSR-640X-XXXXX

The Unit Name is fully editable. It is placed into the outgoing DHCP request and is used for registra- tion. 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 DSR640X-XXXXX. The XXXXX is the unit’s unique five-digit address.

10/100 IP Address Menu

Default: 192.168.000.100

Use the following procedure to set and view the IP address for the left Ethernet port on the back panel of the unit. Press the  buttons until the IP Address menu appears.

Contact the network administrator for details about configuring the Ethernet port for operation on your local network.

PORT 10/100	IP Address

Important: Do not configure the IP Address of the 10/100 and GigE to be on the same subnet.

Press the 4 button until the cursor is at the IP Address label, and press ENTER to move into the field. Use the arrow buttons (4) to enter the desired address and then press ENTER to confirm the selection and exit the field.
