Vertigo XG Portal - Vertigo XG’s Remote Configuration Tool
Configuring Vertigo XG’s network settings
The Vertigo XG Portal allows you to conveniently configure the Vertigo XG device’s network
settings from a remote workstation. The Portal’s N
ETWORK SETUP page allows you to
change the following settings: IP A
DDRESS, SUBNET MASK, and DEFAULT GATEWAY.
We recommend that a static IP address be assigned to the Vertigo XG device when it is
originally installed and configured. In some cases, however, the Vertigo XG device may
have been originally configured using DHCP. If so, the Network Setup page will display the
following warning:
This Vertigo XG is currently configured to obtain IP addresses
automatically using DHCP. Using DHCP is not recommended.
Since using DHCP is not recommended, we ask that you enter a new IP address on the
Network Setup page, which will immediately assign a static IP Address to the Vertigo XG
device.
NOTE
Changing the IP address will require that you reconfigure the Device settings for this Vertigo
XG device on the central Xmedia Server.
To change the Vertigo XG device’s network settings:
1. Log into the Vertigo XG’s Portal (see page 4-2
).
2. Select the S
ETUP>NETWORK SETUP command.
The Portal’s NETWORK SETUP page appears (figure 4-10).

DDRESS, SUBNET MASK, and/or DEFAULT GATEWAY values, type the
new value in the corresponding text box.
