Chapter 9 Configuring the DMA
Figure 27 OPTION > Network Settings > Wired LAN Settings
The following table describes the fields in this menu.
Table 14 OPTION > Network Settings
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Get IP Address | Use the arrow and OK buttons to select this field. Then use the arrow and OK |
| buttons to select an option. |
| Select YES to have the DMA get IP address information automatically. |
| If no IP address information is assigned, the DMA uses |
| IP address and subnet mask. For example, you could connect the DMA directly to |
| your media server computer. If the computer is also set to get an IP address |
| automatically, the computer and the DMA will choose addresses for themselves |
| and be able to communicate. |
| Select NO if you want to assign the DMA a static (fixed) IP address. |
|
|
IP Address | Enter the IP address in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP Address field. |
|
|
Subnet Mask | Enter the IP subnet mask in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP Address |
| field. |
|
|
Default gateway | Enter the gateway IP address in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP |
| Address field. |
DNS server | Enter the DNS server IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field if you |
| selected NO in the Get IP Address field. |
|
|
MAC Address | This field displays the MAC address of the DMA. The MAC (Media Access Control) |
| or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area Network) is unique to your computer (six |
| pairs of hexadecimal notation). |
| A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that |
| is assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures |
| no other adapter has a similar address. |
|
|
OK | Select this to save your changes back to the DMA. |
|
|
CANCEL | Select this to exit this screen without saving your changes. |
