Network Settings - NewTek Connect Spark Pro Operating Instructions Manual

FIGURE 2-12
The uppermost section of this tab displays the Device Name and NDI Channel Name which determine how
your Spark device is identified on your NDI network. These names are editable, allowing you a convenient
way to identify the output of specific Spark units to downstream NDI-enabled devices and systems.
FIGURE 2-13
In this section, you will see the Firmware version currently installed on your Spark Pro displayed, along with
the unit's SKU. Buttons just below allow you to actually update the installed firmware version, to modify the
default network password, or to reboot the device (please see the hint re: browser history in Section 2.4).
Hint: Should you set a custom password and then forget it, you can reset the device to factory defaults using
the Factory Reset process described in Section 1.
Controls in the Network Settings section will be familiar to anyone who has connected a computer or mobile
device to a network, and require little explanation.
Typically, networks are configured to automatically supply IP addresses to devices you connect to it by
means of a DHCP server. Your Spark Pro's IP Address resolution method is set to Dynamic by default, to take
advantage of this scheme. To assign a static IP address to your unit, change the IP Address setting to Manual.
