Infrastructure Questions
Fiber Uplink Considerations
Verify that the IGMP/Multicast functions can be disabled on the Router or Wireless Access Point
DHCP Server is located on the same segment as the StreamNet Devices
DHCP Server address pool is configured for IP Addresses for the total number of StreamNet devices
DHCP Server is configured to assign the correct IP Address and Subnet Mask for the Project
All IP Addresses reside on the same Subnet Mask for proper StreamNet communication
Routers and Wireless Access Points
Static or DHCP Addressing
