Conguring the Unit

The unit can be congured either on the local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet

Locating the Unit IP address

The IP address of the unit is required to access the web pages. It can be identied from the local

menu pages; using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control and

navigate to the System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.

If DNS (Domain Name Server) is not to be used, it is important to set a xed IP address so that the

same URL can be entered to contact the unit every time.

If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server

every time it starts up. If for any reason, a DHCP server cannot allocate an IP address to the unit, a

default IP address will be used. It is recommended that DNS be used as assigning a name will make

it easier for a remote user to locate the unit. DNS data can be congured via the Network menu.
