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 Auto-IP to assign itself an

 

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.
