7.4.1 Changing to Built-In Network Mode
Built-In Network
mode allows all Remotes to be assigned an IP address to allow
communication without the need for an external DHCP router. You therefore set the
Prism system to
Built-In Network
mode if there is no network to connect to or if the
network does not have a DHCP server. You would also change the Prism system to
Built-In Network
mode if you intend to transition to static IP addresses.
11 To open the
Host Summary
view in the EMS View Frame, in the Function Explorer
Tree select
System View
, and then click on the Host name node.
22 Set
Network Interface
to
Built-In Network
. This sets the Network port on the Host to
the IP address 10.0.0.1 and starts a DHCP server on the Host that will provide IP
addresses to connected Remotes. Built-In Network mode also causes the Host
Craft port to run a DHCP client instead of using the IP address 192.168.0.1.
33 Click
Apply
.
Only a user logged in under the admin or a Network Manager account can change Prism
settings through
the EMS.
When changing from External Network mode to Built- In Network mode, if the Prism
system is cabled inco
rrectly, the Prism DHCP server could broadcast private IP
addresses on a public network. You should t
herefore only change the mode once,
preferably during setup.
