4.6 IP Configuration

Head Stations:

1A, 1B, 1C

Firmware:

V1.252 and higher

Administrator

The IP Configuration screen offers some basic IP settings.

The DHCP functionality can be enabled. If the ComBricks will be connected to a network where a DHCP server is

active, the settings can be automatically set into the ComBricks by enabling this feature. The IP address will be

set by the DHCP server.

If a fixed IP address is needed, enter it manually in the 'IP address' box. By default the IP address is

192.168.1.254. Next, enter the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server according to the settings of the

network. For more information, contact the network administrator.

Please note that changing the DNS server address requires a soft-reboot of the Head Station before the new

setting becomes active. Soft-resetting the Head Station does not affect repeater modules; this is a separate

process. You can safely soft-reset the Head Station without disrupting the repeater-functionality.

4.6.1

The ports of the following internal servers of the ComBricks can be changed:

•

Web server (default port is 80)

•

Streaming server (default port is 38888)

•

CommDTM server (default port is 38890)

You can enter any port number between 1024 and 65535. Simply enter a valid port number and press 'Apply'.

Changes will be effective immediately; no reboot is required.

Note about the Web server port: if you change the default port of the web server, you will lose the current

connection to the ComBricks. When the port is changed, the ComBricks will ask you if you want to connect to

the new port. If the Streaming or CommDTM server ports are changed, also change this on the client side and

(if applicable) update firewall rules and/or router setup. Contact your system administrator for this.
