  • Page 15: Static Ip Addressing

    We strongly recommend using DHCP IP addressing for NST Audio products unless strictly necessary within your network infrastructure to do otherwise, and do not undertake swapping to static IP addressing during a critical performance! DHCP and Static IP Addressing Modes By default, all products leaves the factory in DHCP mode.
  • Page 16 The subnet mask number format is shown in the CIDR format, where the shorthand mask value is appended onto the end of the IP address. This is normally shown in the form 192.168.0.20/16 with the /16 being the subnet mask. It is separated it out in D- Net allowing it to be hidden unless required.
  • Page 17 Another Polite Warning! We strongly recommend using DHCP IP addressing for NST Audio products unless strictly necessary within your network infrastructure to do otherwise, and do not undertake swapping to static IP addressing during a critical performance! Changing a device’s IP address in D-Net Having pressed the “Advanced”...
  • Page 18 IP Address Settings Recovery via Direct Connection We need to know the IP address and subnet mask on the device that is not responding correctly. If you have been able to discover it in D-Net, double click on device in the left hand rack view and select the “System” tab. In this instance the device’s IP address is set to 192.168.0.17.
  • Page 19 Direct Connection to a Computer (Windows) The next step is to set the computer’s wired network IP address to be in a suitable range to allow visibility of the static IP erroneously assigned to the device. This method is largely the same on Windows 10 & 11, and our example shows Windows 10. Plug an ethernet cable directly into the Comms socket on the rear of the device and into the Ethernet port on the computer.
  • Page 20 2) Select the Ethernet connection from the left hand list.
  • Page 21 3) Click on the Ethernet network listed (in this example “HensNet”). IP settings are shown towards the bottom of the page. In most instances this will be set to DHCP, as in our case.
  • Page 22 4) Press the Edit button to access the settings. If set to DHCP, a small window will appear with a drop down list to allow swapping to manual configuration from DHCP.
  • Page 23 5) Select “Manual” and set the IPV4 switch to “On” to immediately display the manual addressing options.
  • Page 24 6) Configure the IP address manually. Based on the IP address and subnet mask of the device, we now populate these settings. Our advice would be to set the IP address to be one less than the device’s and the Gateway to one less again. So, if the IP address of the device was 192.168.0.20 and the subnet mask was 16, we would type the following values in: Leave the DNS fields blank.

  • Page 26 Direct Connection to a Computer (Mac OS) The next step is to set the computer’s wired network IP address to be in a suitable range to allow visibility of the static IP erroneously assigned to the device. Plug an ethernet cable directly into the Comms socket on the rear of the device and into the Ethernet port on the computer. We also recommend temporarily turning off WiFi if in use on the computer.
  • Page 27 3) Select “Ethernet” and then the “Details” button. 4) In the network settings, select TCP/IP, and select “Manually” from the “Configure IPV4” option. Our advice would be to set the IP address to be one less than the device’s and make sure the subnet mask matches that of the device.
