Preparations For Using The Network Functions; Assigning A Fixed Ip Address To The Vsp-Bz10 - Sony VSP-BZ10 Operating Instructions Manual

Preparations for
Using the Network
Functions
The VSP-BZ10 can be connected to a
network. When connected to a network, the
IP addresses of the VSP-BZ10 can be set
using one of the following two methods.
Consult your network administrator
regarding details about IP address selection.
• Assigning a fixed IP address to the
VSP-BZ10
Normally this method should be used.
• Automatically obtaining an IP
address
If the network to which the VSP-BZ10 is
connected has a DHCP server, you can
have the DHCP server automatically
assign an IP address.
You can display the IP addresses that were
assigned by pressing the INFO button.
Assigning a Fixed IP Address
to the VSP-BZ10
The VSP-BZ10 requires two IP addresses:
IP Address 1 (Controller), for the Signage
Web Manager, and IP Address 2 (Player),
for the content playout function.
Under factory default settings, IP addresses
1 and 2 are set to be automatically assigned
by DHCP.
If you want to restore the default conditions
after changing the DHCP and IP address
settings, reset the player settings.
Setting IP Address 1 (Controller)
for the Signage Web Manager
First, assign IP Address 1. The IP address
assigned in this procedure is used for calling
the Signage Web Manager from a computer
on the network.

Connect the player and computer to a
network.

Connect the power cord, and wait for
about three minutes.
Depending on the network environment,
you may have to wait longer than three
minutes.
