Dolby Laboratories DP564 - Manual (Page 43)

DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Menus
4-17
The first line on this menu is
IP Config
, which lets you choose
Manual
or
Automatic
configuration. If you choose
Automatic
, the DP564 uses DHCP
protocol to request an IP address from the network server.
Note: Dynamic DNS updates must be enabled at the DHCP server for the DP564
automatic mode to register the host name on the network. The DNS server in
the network should support Dynamic DNS.
The default setting for
Host Name
is
DP564
. If you have more than one DP564 on
the network, name each unit to uniquely identify it. If the network does not support
automatic DNS configuration, choose
Manual
, or use IP address instead of host
name to connect to the DP564.
Note: For any change in the
Network Settings
menu to take effect, you must
reboot the DP564.
To reboot, press
Shift
+
Esc
+ ► simultaneously.
To verify the automatic configuration, after rebooting the DP564, view the
System
Status
menu.
IP
,
Mask
, and
Route
should each display a valid address. If the
network supports DNS,
DNS
also shows a valid address. If no assignment is made,
DNS
shows
N/A
.
If your network is not a DHCP server network, choose
Manual
on the
IP Config
menu. Contact your network administrator to get the appropriate settings for
Domain
Name
,
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
,
Default Gateway
, and
DNS Server
.
The network administrator registers the host name on the network. There is no
verification step for manual configuration.
Connection to a single computer for remote and streaming operation requires manual
assignments for
IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
only. In this simple setup, use IP
address (instead of host name) to connect to the DP564, because the domain name
server is not configured. This setup can also be used to connect the DP564 to other
PCs in the same LAN or subnet without specifying the default gateway.
