Configuring IP Settings

Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Transport and then click Network to view and
configure Ethernet and VLAN interface settings in the Web-GUI.
Important Note: For assistance with configuration of IPv4 or IPv6 network connections
contact your IT Administrator.
IPv4 versus IPv6
An IP address is a unique address to identify a device on a TCP/IP network. Your codec uses dual
IP protocol stacks to allow your codec to work on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Tieline codecs
support both DHCP (default) IP addressing and static IP addresses for dialing IPv4 connection
endpoints.
If you want to dial a codec with a public IP address you simply dial the IP address to connect. If you
want to dial a codec with a private IP address you need to perform network address translation
(NAT). NAT allows a single device, such as a broadband router, to act as an agent between the
public internet and a local private LAN. Usually this will be set up at the studio end so you can dial
into the studio from the remote codec.
Support for IPv6 connections allows you to use IPv6 infrastructure to connect to other codecs
globally.
Configuring Ethernet Ports and VLANs
The codec features two physical Ethernet LAN ports, two USB ports and up to four additional VLAN
interfaces.
VLAN interfaces have features similar to physical Ethernet interfaces. However, your network
administrator will need to configure VLAN support throughout your network for them to be supported
in your codec. These interfaces can be configured to stream or control the codec, or do both.
