Alcorn McBride Digital Video Machine DVM-7400 User’s Manual Rev 1.5

Device Configuration

The configuration of the Alcorn devices should be setup by default to

192.168.0.254. That is all of them will have the same address so they must be

reconfigured. If changes are needed or if parameters need to be verified, then go

thru the following steps to understand how to configure the port parameters. The

default parameters are:

IP address: 192.168.000.254

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000

Gateway: 192.168.000.001

Setting Device IP Addresses

The default IP address of most Alcorn McBride equipment is 192.168.0.254. This

may need to be changed to work in your network. In this example, we will set all

the other units on the network according to the configuration requirements. i.e.

DVM7400/E-1 is 192.168.0.101, AM4/E is 192.168.0.102 and so on. Remember

to make an address map.

Connect to the serial port of the first device (DVM7400/E in this example) and

open the AMITerm software. (You can download this program from

www.alcorn.com.) Click on the Network tab and under the Configuration Box click

the Set button. Next go to the IP field and edit the last number changing it to 101.

Click the IP button and observe the message in the box at the bottom left of the

AMITerm window. The receive response must be R<0D> to verify the new

address was understood. See the diagram below for the locations and function of
