Instruction Manual

The easiest way to identify your SVxx41HDIE on the network is by its MAC address, a unique hardware identifier that is specific to your unit. The MAC address of the unit can be found on a white sticker on the bottom of the SVxx41HDIE. Write down this number and keep it for future reference. Once you locate the MAC address of your unit in the DHCP log, you can match it to its leased IP address and proceed with the Web configuration.

NOTE: Once you have located the IP address of the SVxx41HDIE and wish to proceed with the Web configuration, do not power off the unit or your DHCP server, since the Server Remote Control might lease a different IP address. Should this happen, re- examine the DHCP log to verify the IP address again.

Web Configuration Using Static IP

Since some networks rely on static IP addresses (every device has a pre-configured IP address that does not change), the DHCP access method described above is not applicable in those situations.

To access the Web configuration for this product, you will need to configure the workstation you are using to the same subnet (255.255.255.0) and also assign it a valid IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.100). For details on how to change the IP address of your computer (if necessary), consult your documentation or System Administrator for assistance.

NOTE: It is advisable to verify whether another device on your network is using the same IP address as the SVxx41HDIE before connecting it to the network, to avoid a conflict. Should an IP address conflict occur with another device on the network, power off the conflicting device or assign it another IP address before continuing the installation.

NOTE: Not all IP addresses are valid for a given subnet. If you are required to change your subnet (and therefore IP address) to configure the unit, be sure the IP address you choose is within the allowable range for the 255.255.255.0 subnet.

Once your computer is configured to the same subnet as the SVxx41HDIE, you can use the IP address 192.168.1.123 to access the Web configuration system.
