Network Tab
The Network Tab allows for configuration/monitoring of the streaming Ethernet port.
Network Configuration Tab
The Network Configuration Tab is used to set the individual parameters for the streaming
Ethernet port.
The following parameters can be configured:
 Alarm on Link Loss: If set to Yes, the card will raise an alarm if this Ethernet interface
loses link. The Card State indicator in Dashboard™ and the front Status LED will both
be red. If set to No, the card will still report loss of link in the Statistics page but no
alarm will be raised. Niagara Video recommends turning on the alarm for ports that are
in use; only turn it off if you do not plan to connect that port to a network.
 IP Address: Enter the desired IP address for this Ethernet port.
 Subnet Mask: Enter the desired subnet mask for this Ethernet port.
 Default Gateway: Enter the desired default gateway for this Ethernet port, or 0.0.0.0 if
no gateway is available.
 DNS Server 1, DNS Server 2: Enter up to two DNS IP addresses, or 0.0.0.0 if the DNS
functionality is not required. The BRD will need to consult a DNS server when operating
as an HLS or RTMP client, if the servers are to be specified by host names instead of IP
addresses

If the BRD has connectivity to the Internet and there is no DNS in your local network, Niagara Video recommends
using the Google public servers at addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
