Operation Manual

o DHCP: This option selects control port IP address configuration by DHCP. If
this option is selected, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields
are not shown.
IP Address: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. Enter the
desired control port IP address.
Subnet Mask: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. Enter the
desired control port subnet mask.
Default Gateway: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP.
Enter the desired control port default gateway.
DNS Server: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. The
GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone needs DNS for the HLS and RTMP Client protocols, if
you wish to specify the server by name instead of IP address. If you do not need DNS,
you can leave this field at 0.0.0.0. If your GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone is connected to
the Internet and you do not have a local DNS server, a good option is the Google public
DNS at 8.8.8.8.
NTP Server: If you want the unit to be NTP-synchronized (for logging purposes), enter
the IP address of an accessible NTP server in this field. If you do not need NTP, you can
leave this field at 0.0.0.0. If your GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone has access to the
Internet through the control port, you can point it to one of the public NTP servers for
your region. You can find more details on this link:
http://psp2.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome
Apply/Cancel: Use these buttons to apply or cancel the changes to the control port IP
configuration. Note that if you change the IP address, DashBoard may lose contact with
the GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone. The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
entries will be checked for consistency and will be rejected if invalid.
Control Port Statistics Tab
The Control Port statistics screen is depicted below. It contains the current settings for the
control port. If you have configured the unit for DHCP, it will include the current IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS server obtained from the DHCP server. It also includes
the link state for the control Ethernet port.
