Network Menu (Setup>Advanced)
Device Name: Name of the Horus unit. This name will be broadcast across the network and
will be seen in applications such as the MT Discovery tool. The Horus unit
name can be changed from the Web control access Network page (see section
below for all details)

Apply & Reboot: Once changes have been made to this section, you must press this button to
save the settings and power cycle the Horus unit
Note:
Horus has no DHCP-server capability neither does the Merging PCIe Ethernet
Controller Card NET-MSC-GBEX1.
By default the Horus IP setting is set to “Auto” configuration mode which gives
an address in the range 169.254.xxx.xxx if no DHCP server is present on the
network. Users are free to put a DHCP server in their RAVENNA network with
a customized address range and the Horus would get an IP address from this
server. Note that our recommended Dell PowerConnect 2816 RAVENNA
switch is configured with DHCP disabled.
Merging recommend the Horus to be configured in “Auto” mode and the
Merging PCIe Ethernet Controller Card NET-MSC-GBEX1 to also be
configured with “Internet Protocol Version 4” with “Obtain an IP automatically”.
You must be aware that when the Horus is started in Maintenance mode the IP
configuration is exclusively done using “Auto” IP settings mode.
