Locating the Unit IP address

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

conguration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control

and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.

Note: The unit can be connected to a DHCP network environment via the 15 way connector to

allow an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to be automatically be allocated by

the network DHCP Server (DHCP is enabled by default).

Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a xed

IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication i.e.

following power failure).

A xed IP address can be assigned via the Network Settings->Network menu.

For information on locating the unit’s IP address via a PC and serial port connection, refer to Appendix D

Default DNS Address

It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be congured. Assigning a

recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.

If no System name is allocated to the unit, the default DNS address will be:

machine serial number.yourdomain.com

• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu page and also

on the underside of the unit.

• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS network.

The default DNS address can be renamed via the Network Settings->Network menu. Following

renaming, the DNS address will be:

yourname.yourdomain.com

• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the Network menu.

• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS network

Note: To activate an assigned DNS address, it will be necessary to reboot the unit. The unit can

be rebooted via System Settings:>Maintain-> Reset.

IMPORTANT: To set the time and date on the unit, navigate to System Settings->Time and Date.

The unit can be congured using the webpages. To access these:

1. Launch Internet Explorer (or similar web browser package).

2. Type the URL for the unit (IP or DNS address).

3. The Opening menu page will be displayed.
