Mediatrix 4100
Configuration Source
The Mediatrix 4100 must know the IP address and port number of the SNTP server. You can assign these
information to the Mediatrix 4100 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself with the static
variables.
DHCP Configuration
Using the DHCP configuration assumes that you have properly set your DHCP server with the relevant
information. See “Chapter 3 -
IP Address and Network Configuration” on page 41 for more details.
 To use DHCP-assigned information:
1. In the ipAddressConfig folder, locate the sntpSelectConfig Source variable (under the
ipAddressConfigSntp group).
This variable defines whether the Mediatrix 4100 must ask for its SNTP server settings through a
DHCP server or not.
2. Set the sntpSelectConfigSource variable to dhcp.
You can query the SNTP server’s IP address and port number assigned by the DHCP server in the
sntpHost and sntpPort read-only variables (under the ipAddressStatusSntp group).
3. Set the DHCP Vendor Specific code of the SNTP feature in your DHCP server.
See “
SNTP” on page 51 for more details.
Static Configuration
Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want to bypass it.
 To use static information:
1. In the ipAddressConfig folder, locate the sntpSelectConfig Source variable (under the
ipAddressConfigSntp group).
This variable defines whether the Mediatrix 4100 must ask for its SNTP server settings through a
DHCP server or not.
2. Set the sntpSelectConfigSource variable to static.
