USB Network Configuration
This section describes how to configure the HD Portal
plus using a USB memory stick. The network parameters
of the HD Portal plus can be set via a special
configuration text file on a USB memory stick. Insert the
memory stick into one of the HD Portal plus USB ports
at any time. The unit will look for the presence of this
configuration file and will implement the settings from
the file. Use a simple ASCII text editor to create the file
named dmx_ip_conf.txt.
dhcp=(bool)0
dns_1=(string)192.168.0.2
dns_2=(string)
192.168.0.3
ethernet=(string)auto
gateway=(string)192.168.1.1
ipaddress=(string)192.168.1.253
Use this option with caution as you are changing the
default of this configuration file and will implement the
settings from the file.
If the dmx_ip_conf.txt file is intentionally left blank
with no text of any type within the body of the file,
the HD Portal plus will write its network settings to this
file. This is an easy way to obtain the unit's network
settings.
SMTP Mail
The HD Portal plus has the ability to send emails.
To send the emails you must enable the SMTP
configuration. After enabling it, enter the address of
the SMTP server in the appropriate text box and the
e-mail account that you use to send emails in the
appropriate box. Confirm any changes to the SMTP mail
configuration by clicking Submit.
Telnet (TCP/IP)
The Telnet port by default is not enabled. To turn on
Telnet control, set the Telnet port number (typically
Port 23) and check the TCP/IP port enable check box.
A password for the Telnet session can be activated by
entering a password in the Password for TCP/IP connec-
tion text box. If a password is not desired on the Telnet
session, leave the text box blank.
RS-232
On the back of the HD Portal plus there is a serial con-
trol port configured as a DTE that supports the RS-232
protocol. A Null-Modem cable should be used between
the HD Portal plus and the COM port on your PC.
Terminal session settings required for RS-232 control
are: 9600, 8, None, 1 with No Flow Control.
There is no password protection on this interface and,
by default the RS-232 port is enabled. The administra-
tor has the ability to disable the port by unchecking the
COM port enable check box.
