Assigning a Static IP Address to the MAX-CSD10 via the Browser-Based UI
Although the initial communication to the unit is done via a DHCP connection and since this is your
source device, it is recommended that for streaming and programming purposes, you assign a Static IP
Address to the unit via the browser-based Decoder Manager UI (FIG. 22). Before starting, you will need
a Static IP address and Subnet Mask to enter into the Decoder Manager; these may be provided by your
Network Administrator.
1. From the Decoder Manager, click on the IP Settings tab to open the IP Settings page (FIG. 29).
2. In the IP Address section, select the Static radio button.
3. Enter the Static IP address and Subnet Mask information provided by your Network Administrator
into the fields provided.
4. To save the new changes, click the Accept button at the bottom of the page. If you wish to return to
the previously saved information, click Cancel.
5. To make sure that the new information is recognized by the MAX-CSD10, click Reboot to reboot
your MAX unit.
