Configure Encoder Network Settings
It's recommended that you use static IP addresses for any VGA Grid HD Encoders on your network. Encoders
are associated to the VGA Grid by their IP addresses. Using static IP addresses ensures that the encoders can
still be located after a system relocation, power failure or other event that may change a dynamically
allocated IP address for the encoder.
This section covers the following network configuration changes for the VGA Grid HD Encoder:
l
Verify IP Address and MAC address
l
Set a static IP address for the encoder
l
Configure DHCP for the encoder
Additionally, the following general network topics are applicable to encoders. Log into the encoder's web
interface when following the described procedures:
l
Tether to a Mobile Network
l
Perform Network Diagnostics
Verify IP Address and MAC address
The web interface shows you the system’s MAC address and current IP Address via the Network configuration
page.
To view settings on network configuration page:
1. Find the VGA Grid HD Encoder's serial number. It is printed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit.
2. Follow the instructions in Connect to the Admin Interface to connect to the VGA Grid HD Encoder (use
the serial number from step 1 above, not the serial number of the VGA Grid).
3. Login as admin.
4. Select the Network link in the Configuration menu; the network configuration page opens.
5. Note the MAC address and Current IP address listed at the top of the page.
