LABEL DESCRIPTION
Get IP Address Use the arrow and OK buttons to select this field. Then use the arrow and OK
buttons to select an option.
Select YES to have the DMA get IP address information automatically.
If no IP address information is assigned, the DMA uses Auto-IP to assign itself an
IP address and subnet mask. For example, you could connect the DMA directly to
your media server computer. If the computer is also set to get an IP address
automatically, the computer and the DMA will choose addresses for themselves
and be able to communicate.
Select NO if you want to assign the DMA a static (fixed) IP address.
IP Address Enter the IP address in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP Address field.
Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP Address
field.
Default gateway Enter the gateway IP address in this field if you selected NO in the Get IP
Address field.
DNS server Enter the DNS server IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field if you
selected NO in the Get IP Address field.
MAC Address This field displays the MAC address of the DMA. The MAC (Media Access Control)
or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area Network) is unique to your computer (six
pairs of hexadecimal notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that
is assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures
no other adapter has a similar address.
OK Select this to save your changes back to the DMA.
CANCEL Select this to exit this screen without saving your changes.
