■Setting the IP address of the MusicCAST server

•What is an IP address?

Each component on a network uses an address to identify itself to other components on the same network. The address consists of four numbers and looks like this:

192.168.1.1

This is called an IP address. Without these addresses, the components on a network cannot transmit data to each other. Look at the illustration below for example off IP addresses used in a network.

•What is a private IP address?

A local IP address is used only within your own network. Most local IP addresses are 192.168.XXX.XXX, where “XXX” can be any number between 0 and 254, and you should use this format if you set the private IP address of the MusicCAST server manually. A private IP address is only available for access to other clients on your own local network.

•What is a global IP address?

A global IP address is the IP address of your network as seen from other external networks. For example, if you are connecting to the Internet using a broadband router, the components on your network have many different local IP addresses, but share one global IP address. Do not set a global IP address as the IP address of your MusicCAST server.
