3.8.5.1.

IP Address Source

The IP Address SRC parameter defines the type of IP address used by the HD9084. Possible options
include either dynamic or static. The dynamic option should be used when a DHCP server will assign
the IP address of the HD9084. The static option should be used if a dedicated IP address will be
assigned to the HD9084. The default setting for this control is dynamic.
3.8.5.2.

Static Address

The Static Address parameter defines the unique IP address used by the HD9084 within the network.
192.168.1.XXX is an example of an IP address defined within a private (internal) network. Take care
not to define the same IP address for multiple devices that reside on the same network. To configure
this option, enter the NETWORK SETUP sub-menu and use the UP and DOWN arrows until STATIC
ADDRESS is displayed on the front panel. Press SELECT to enter this option and use the UP and
DOWN arrows to configure the individual network address octets. Press SELECT to proceed to the
next octet. Press SETUP to exit this level.
3.8.5.3.

Static Netmask

The Static Netmask parameter defines the "subnet mask" of the network. Specifically, this parameter
outlines all the IP addresses that can communicate with the HD9084. To configure this option, enter
the NETWORK SETUP sub-menu and use the UP and DOWN arrows until STATIC NETMASK is
displayed on the front panel. Press SELECT to enter this option and use the UP and DOWN arrows to
configure the individual network address octets. Press SELECT to proceed to the next octet. Press
SETUP to exit this level.
3.8.5.4.

Static Broadcast

The Static Broadcast parameter defines the broadcast address used by the HD9084. The broadcast
address is an IP address that allows information to be sent to all machines on a given subnet rather
than a specific machine. To configure this option, enter the NETWORK SETUP sub-menu and use the
UP and DOWN arrows until STATIC BROADCAST is displayed on the front panel. Press SELECT to
enter this option and use the UP and DOWN arrows to configure the individual network address octets.
Press SELECT to proceed to the next octet. Press SETUP to exit this level.
3.8.5.5.

Static Gateway

The Static Gateway parameter defines the IP address of the gateway or "router" that resides on the
network. A gateway is used to connect 2 IP-based networks together. If data that is destined for the
HD9084 resides on a different network, then the IP address of the gateway must be defined. To
configure this option, enter the NETWORK SETUP sub-menu and use the UP and DOWN arrows until
STATIC GATEWAY is displayed on the front panel. Press SELECT to enter this option and use the UP
and DOWN arrows to configure the individual network address octets. Press SELECT to proceed to
the next octet. Press SETUP to exit this level.
To communicate beyond the private (internal) network and into the internet, all

messages must be relayed via the gateway (firewall). As a result, the firewall
must be configured separately by the end-user to facilitate communication.
Consult your network administrator if establishing communication link beyond
the private network.
