proxy may not be necessary. In that case, the transmit module would receive an IP media stream
directly from the media source. The transmit module is responsible for replicating and applying the
ARQ error correction to each outgoing stream.

1.2 Network Setup

The QVARQ QoS Multimedia Proxy Server™ comes with a factory preset IP address of
192.168.1.31 and Netmask of 255.255.255.0. If you need to change this address, you could
temporarily set the IP address on your PC to any valid IP address starting with 192.168.1.XXX,
where XXX is any number from 1 through 254, except 31. Then connect your PC and the QVARQ
together through either an Ethernet switch with regular Ethernet cables, or you can bypass the
Ethernet switch and simply connect the PC to the QVARQ Server directly via a crossover Ethernet
cable.

Once connected, you can use any standard web browser to log into the appropriate LAN
configuration page under the Network menu and change the IP settings to permanent values
suitable for your network.

If you cannot change the IP address of your PC to connect into the QVARQ server, you can
connect a standard VGA monitor and keyboard to see its currently configured IP address. The
Ethernet address will appear in the message that it outputs during boot-up.

You can temporarily change the IP address to any address of your choice by typing the following at
the boot prompt: “ifconfig eth0 up”, where is a valid IPv4 address on
your local area network. For example, typing “ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.25 up” will change the IP
address temporarily to 10.1.1.25.

After changing the address, you can then easily connect to a standard web browser on a PC to
permanently reset the IP address to a convenient unused address on your network.

Once you have the PC and the QVARQ QoS Multimedia Proxy Server™ connected together on
the same network with the same subnet addresses, you can reconfigure the IP settings to new
permanent values through a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.
Follow the steps below to reconfigure the network settings through a web browser:

1) Point your web browser to

http://192.168.1.31

(or the address you may have changed it to)

NOTE: The QVARQ QoS Multimedia Proxy Server™ requires user authentication to enter the web
browser or to log in using Telnet. The factory preset username is “root” and the password is also
“root.” Please enter these settings when prompted to access the system.

2) Click on “LAN 1” under the “Network” menu on the left. (This assumes that your QVARQ only
has one Ethernet port or you have configured and are connecting through the LAN 1 port. If you
have 2 LAN ports, you can use the LAN 2 page to set the network parameters of the second port.
However, you must use a different subnet for the second port.)

You should see a web page similar to the following network configuration web page:
