Ethernet
These options are used to enable or change the Ethernet settings on the STB. Some or all
may have been previously configured earlier. See Setting the IP Address on page 4.
Management
The STB transmits Management SAPs for use by other VBrick devices and/or applications
on the network such as VBDirectory or MCS. This menu configures the transmission of
these management SAPs. These options are used to enable or change the management
settings on the STB.
FTP Server User Name Username used to log into the FTP server on the STB.

DNS servers with a pipe character, for example:
172.16.1.10|172.16.1.11
Domain Searchlist The list of domain names that will be searched when resolving
host names. Separate multiple domains with a pipe character (|).
Network DHCP To change to Static, select option
DNS via DHCP When using DHCP: If the DNS settings should come from the
DHCP server, check the box (for yes). If not, uncheck the box
(for no).
VBrick Hostname Enter a hostname if Hostname via DHCP is set to No or if
DHCP enable is set to Static. If you enter an invalid host name,
the STB will not start. If no host name is entered, it defaults to
the MAC address. The following rules apply to host name:
• must less than 19 characters.
• first character must be a letter.
• last character must be a letter or digit.
• interior characters must be letters, digits, or hyphen.
• no embedded spaces or special characters are allowed.

here.
Subnet Mask Set when using a static IP address.
Gateway IP Address Set when using a static IP address.
Network Interface
Speed-Type
Set the Ethernet interface to the desired speed and duplex of
operation. Default is Auto (auto-negotiate) but 10Mbps and
100Mbps, half and full duplex options are selected if required.
You should only select a different option if necessary to
interoperate with your network equipment.
