Chapter 8. Setting The Ip Address - Avid Technology Artist Color User Manual

Chapter 8: Setting the IP Address
Most Artist Color users will never have to set a static Internet Protocol (IP) address, but in the rare cases that require it, the Artist
Color does allow for it.
Normally, Artist Series media controllers use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain its IP address, typically
from a router. Artist Color reverts to link-local addressing to generate an IP address if a DHCP server is not found on the network,
such as when Artist Color is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable. Both of these methods of obtaining IP ad-
dresses can be overridden by supplying a static IP address, which Artist Color will then use in all cases when powered on.
This step requires that you have prior experience configuring a network.
To set a static IP address:
While holding down the left-most two Soft Keys simultaneously, press and release the POWER switch. Continue to hold the Soft
1
Keys down until the display lights.
Turn the Jog Wheel clockwise to change the underlined value from yes (default) to no.
2
Use DHCP yes (left); Use DHCP no (right)
The + and – keys on the Numeric Keypad can be used instead of the Jog Wheel to decrease or increase the value, respectively.
Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the next screen, in this case the first field of the IP Address screen.
3
Press the ENTER key to cycle the cursor back to a previous field or screen to change a parameter to a different value.
4
Use the Jog Wheel to set the first field of the IP Address. Alternately, press the + or – keys on the Numeric Keypad to increment
5
or decrement the value, respectively. You can also enter the number directly using the Numeric Keypad.
Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to the second field.
6
Rotate the Jog Wheel to set the second field of the IP address.
