MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor User Manual A-3
IP Address
An IP address is assigned to each unit and acts as a unique identifier within a
network. An IP address will be assigned by the Network Administrator.
IP addresses are written as four groups of up to three digits each separated by
periods, for example, '119.183.115.11'.
The IP address must be associated with a MAC address for the unit to be able to
function within a network.
New units are shipped with the IP address set to 0.0.0.0; this is because the IP
address that will be used by a customer is unknown. In this situation, the steps
described below must be followed in order to associate the proper IP address with
the MAC address (see Network Set-Up, page A-7).
If the IP address is not known, it must be reset to 0.0.0.0 and set up with a new IP
address before the unit can be used.
Resetting the IP Address
There are two ways of resetting the IP address of an MTM400 unit to '0.0.0.0'
(factory default).
Method 1: If the current IP address of the unit is known, the address can be reset
using the MTM400 user interface.
Method 2: If the current IP address of the unit is unknown, the address must be
reset by clearing the non-volatile RAM on the Transport Stream Processor board.
Clearing the RAM resets all configuration data, including the IP address and the
option license, to the factory defaults.
