3.7 RMIT IT NETWORK
3.7.1 TCP/IP Addressing
At the commencement of the project, the AV Integrator must populate the Equipment Schedule (live document)
with details of all the devices that require an assigned TCP/IP address. As a minimum the AV Integrator must
provide the device make, model, location (room number), MAC address and outlet number. The Principal /
RMIT ITS will then populate the IP address, subnet and gateway details.
The IP addresses of all AV equipment must be assigned dynamically if supported by the device. The RMIT
DNS server will allocate a fixed TCP/IP address based on the devices MAC address. RMIT ITS will issued
these address as part of the construction process via the equipment spread sheet. RMIT require this spread
sheet to be populated with MAC address, port numbers and item name before an TCP/IP address can be
issued.
Final settings and configurations shall be included with the Deliverable documentation.
