will be displayed in its place (10.0.0.15 by default). Please make note of the assigned IP address, as you will need to enter it into your web browser to access the Web Interface.

If static IP addresses are assigned, you will likely need to change the Net Mask, IP Address and other details, prior to connecting via your Web browser. If this is the case, connect a local keyboard (USB or PS/2) and press the Enter key. In order to proceed, you will require an administrative username and password. By default, the username and password are admin. You will be given the opportunity to change the password (recommended) once the configuration is complete.

Alternatively, you may press the Setup button on the front panel, and you will not be asked to enter the admin password if you just press Enter.

At the main OSD menu (pictured below), you will be given several basic setup options. To configure SV1115IPEXT to your required network settings, use the Network Setup Wizard. To select from the menus provided, use the arrow keys on your keyboard. At any time, you can return to the previous menu by pressing the Page Up key.

Web Configuration Using DHCP

This method requires that your network implement DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), usually on a server or network access device such as a router that dynamically allows devices to join the network without pre-configuration. It also assumes that you will have easy access to your network’s DHCP log, since you will need to know the IP address of the unit to complete the configuration over your Web browser. (If you are unsure of how to access your network’s DHCP log, contact your System Administrator for details.) If the unit is powered on and connected to the network via LAN port on the rear panel, it will automatically attempt to lease an IP address using DHCP. Before you can begin the configuration process, you will need to access the DHCP log from your file server or other device that acts as the DHCP server on the network. A simple DHCP log looks similar to the following:
