4.1.4 Browser-Based Configuration Utility
The browser-based configuration utility within all local transmitter and remote receiver units requires a network connection
between a ServSwitch Agility unit and a computer. This configuration utility allows you to perform all of the following functions:
• View/edittheIPnetworkaddressandnetmask,
• ConfigureseparateIPnetworkaddressesforvideo,audioandUSB,
• Configuremulticastsettings(onRemoteunits),
• Configurevideobandwidthsettings(onLocalunits),
• Viewthecurrentvideooutput(onLocalunits),
• Performafirmwareupgrade,
• Performafactoryreset.
4.1.4.1 Connecting a Computer System for Browser-Based Configuration
1 Connect a suitable network cable to the Ethernet port on the front panel of the ServSwitch Agility unit. See Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2. Connect the ServSwitch Agility to a suitable network switch.
2 Connect the other end of the link cable to a network switch.
3 Similarly, link your computer to the same, or different, switch located on the same network. Note: A Gigabit connection is not
essential for configuration purposes.
4 If not already switched on, power up your computer and the ServSwitch Agility unit. You are now ready to use the browser-
based configuration utility.
4.1.4.2 Accessing the Browser-Based Configuration Utility
1 Temporarily connect the ServSwitch Agility (or Agility Dual) unit and a computer via a network, as discussed above.
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the ServSwitch Agility unit, e.g. http://169.254.1.33
The default settings are as follows:
• Localunits-IPaddress:169.254.1.33Netmask:255.255.0.0
• Remoteunits-IPaddress:169.254.1.32Netmask:255.255.0.0
Where the address of a unit is not known, perform a manual factory reset (see section 4.1.3) to restore the default address.
The opening page of the ServSwitch Agility configuration utility should be displayed and you can now use on-screen help
for details of the functions that you wish to perform.
