DigiLinX and IP Addresses
Introduction
DigiLinX is designed to function as a standalone IP-Based Multi-Room Audio, Video
and Control system that can easily be configured to integrate with the home network.
Integrating with the home network allows DigiLinX to be controlled by computers and
PDAs, and to provide a conduit for media servers to access the Internet to download
metadata. To allow all of the devices to communicate with one another, they must be
one the same subnet and have an IP address that is unique.
NOTE:
PDAs must be able to run Adobe
®
Flash
®
and a wireless web browser.
This chapter discusses the three tasks that need to be accomplished to integrate
DigiLinX into the home network:
Setting static addresses for non-StreamNet™ devices
Configuring the DigiLinX system
Configuring the home network
NetStreams recommends the general IP address structure shown in Figure 9-1:
Setting Static IP Addresses
There are many non-StreamNet devices that use IP addresses and are compatible with
DigiLinX. For example, Panasonic IP cameras use the network and media servers
usually require an Internet connection to function properly. DigiLinX does not assign
IP addresses to these devices. For these devices, you must manually assign a static IP
