Network Configuration
(SEE FIGURE 4 - IP SETTINGS WEBPAGE)
System Name
The factory set system name is the MediaPOINTE. You
can change the name in the IP setting menu page by
entering a new name in the text field. A reboot is
required for the new name to take effect. The name
can be up to 15 characters long and consist of alpha-
numeric characters. No special characters or symbols
will be accepted except for a hyphen.
IP Settings
The System Name and all network settings can be set
in the IP Settings section of the main menu. Network
settings may also be configured via USB memory stick
configuration.
To quickly find the system's IP Address, connect a VGA
(RGBHV) monitor to the output. Use the handheld
remote to navigate to the System Info page of the on
screen menu.
IP addresses may be assigned to the HD Portal in two
ways: DHCP and Fixed (Static) IP. If your network is
configured for DHCP, the IP address will be provided
automatically and will be visible on the HDMI or VGA
(RGBHV) output of the HD Portal. To set a Fixed (Static)
IP address, follow the procedure below.
Configuring Static IP Address
1. Connect the Ethernet / LAN cable and power up the
HD Portal.
2. On your Internet browser, enter the current IP
address of the HD Portal. (Note: If the unit has factory
settings, the default static IP address is: 192.168.1.253)
3. Login to the HD Portal using the procedure shown in
the Logging In section.
4. Navigate to the network settings page by selecting IP
Settings.
5. In order to change to a Fixed or Static IP address, set
the DHCP Client checkbox to "Disable". Fill in the IP
Address, IP Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields.
6. Once you have completed all of the above steps,
select the Apply Changes button. You will receive a
pop-up window warning you to use this option with
caution as you are changing the default address and
should remember the new settings.
Configuring DHCP IP Address
1. Follow the same steps as above (1 thru 4)
2. To allow the HD Portal to pick up an IP address, set
the DHCP Client checkbox to "Enable".
3. Once you have completed all of the above steps,
select the Apply Changes button. You will receive a
pop-up window warning you to use this option with
caution as you are changing the default address and
should remember the new settings.
