2. Begin configuration of the video hub by selecting the System Setup tab.

This is the menu used to specify the final IP address, hostname, wideband channel,

wideband bandwidth, narrowband channel number, narrowband channel power and time

out period.

The other variables (Wideband Channel, Demod Level, Narrowband Chan, Narrowband Pwr)

are selectable, but generally should not need to be changed.

Typically, you will only need to modify the IP address to be compatible with your current

network configuration. To configure the IP address, single click the IP address button in the

window, you will then be directed to the Configure Hub IP Address menu. (shown below)

This menu allows a user to modify a static IP address, gateway address, and subnet address

or, to choose “Use Dynamic” otherwise known as DHCP.

Note: Do not forget your IP address, and use caution if you choose “Use Dynamic”. Your

VMS system will need to be able to locate the video hub, and if a DHCP server is dynamically

assigning different IP addresses to the hub, it can cause the hub to be difficult to find on the

network. Only use this setting if your network administrator has told you to, AND, can

determine and/or control the appropriate IP address issued to the video hub. In most

installations, static (non-changing) IP addresses are most common, and the preferred choice

for the Hub.
