Addressing the TV-OPT
To set the IP address
You must define the TV-OPT's IP addressing (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) in the Service Port
controller setup pages so that the controller can communicate with the i-Vu Server on the IP network.
Use one of the IP addressing schemes described below with the associated instructions that follow.
Use a...
DHCP IP Address
generated by a DHCP server
Custom Static IP Address
from your network administrator
Default IP Address
that your system creates
NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated
into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.
To set a DHCP IP address
On the controller setup Modstat tab, find the controller's Ethernet MAC address and write it down.
1
On the Ports tab under IP Port, select DHCP.
2
Click Save.
3
Write down the IP Address.
4
Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that
5
IP address for the controller so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
To set a custom IP address
Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network
1
administrator.
On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Custom Static.
2
Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses that the network administrator gave

you.
Click Save.

If...
The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing
You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the
following questions is yes. Will the i-Vu® system:
•
Share a facility's existing IP data network?
•
Have 254 or more devices with static IP addresses?
•
Be connected to the Internet?
•
Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP
router?
•
Have any third-party IP devices?
The answer to all of the above questions is no.
