10/100 DHCP Menu

Press the  buttons until the Port 10/100 DHCP menu appears. The front panel screen displays
the DHCP and Unit Name fields. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the Satel-
lite Multiplex Decrypter to obtain a set of IP parameters from a DHCP server. The DHCP server
ensures that all these IP addresses are unique. This automates and facilitates the unit's access to the
network. The management of the IP address pool, in this case, is handled by the server, and not by a
human administrator.

DHCP Field

Move into the field and choose either Enable or Disable.

Unit Name Field

The Unit Name is fully editable. It is placed into the outgoing DHCP request and is used for registra-
tion. The Unit Name, in most cases, is only a suggestion to the DHCP server and may be updated with
a different name upon receiving the DHCP registration reply. If an updated name is received from a
DHCP server, the Unit Name will be adjusted to show this change and will replace the user-entered
name. The default name is DSR640X-XXXXX. The XXXXX is the unit's unique five-digit address.

10/100 IP Address Menu

Use the following procedure to set and view the IP address for the left Ethernet port on the back
panel of the unit. Press the  buttons until the IP Address menu appears. Use this menu to
enter an IP address for the Ethernet port. The address is represented in the common dotted-
decimal format. Contact the network administrator for details about configuring the Ethernet port
for operation on your local network.
Important: Do not configure the IP Address of the 10/100 and GigE to be on the same subnet.
Press the 4 button until the cursor is at the IP Address label, and press ENTER to move into the
field. Use the arrow buttons ( 4 ) to enter the desired address and then press ENTER to
confirm the selection and exit the field.
