2.2 IP Address Configuration
After installing the hardware of VENICE as described in its hardware
guide, you may want to configure the server’s IP address to connect it
to your local network. Ex factory the VENICE server is already precon-
figured for a network usage and with this can be used immediately.
However, in case you want to alter the configuration to adapt it to your
local network, you can configure it easily.
This section describes the delivery status of the network configuration
of the VENICE server as well as how to change it.
2.2.1 Delivery Status
The network ports of the VENICE server and its software are ex factory
preconfigured:
The first network port (eth0) is configured as indicated in the table
above. If it fits your network, it can be used as it is to hook up the sys-
tem as a video server. The VENICE server software and the locally in-
stalled Spycer application are also set to this IP address. When not
changing it, this address has to be used by the locally installed VENICE
client software as well as remote installed ones to connect to the server
and allocate one of its channels. To find out the actual IP address please
use either the command line/system tools or the DVS web utility (see
section “DVS Web Utility” on page 5-1).
With the preconfigured settings of the second network port (eth1) you
can connect the VENICE server as a standard DHCP client to the net-
work.
2.2.2 Changing the IP Address
The VENICE server and its software are preconfigured to the IP address
of the first network port as indicated in section “Delivery Status” on
page 2-5. In case you want to alter the network configuration of the
VENICE server several steps have to be performed:
The set IP address is valid for the locally installed VENICE client
software as well as remote installed ones. It has to be entered
in the user interface of the software to allocate one of the serv-
er’s channels and control it.
