System Set Up
Assigning the Network Address
Access to the system interface is available from two network addresses: IP address and hostname. Typing either address
into a browser will access the interface of the connected CU.
Manage the network address from the browser: >
System LAN Setup
IP Address
Select 'Dynamic' if the CU is connected to a network with a DHCP server. Otherwise select 'Static' and assign a fixed IP
address to the CU. Default IP configuration is "Dynamic".
Select 'Apply Changes' to save the changes made.
View the IP address from the CU front panel:
> > > .
LAN setup IP address setup IP address Actual IP address
Hostname
The hostname is a user-defined name can be assigned to the device to access the browser instead of using the IP
address. The hostname is titled in a logical manner to easily identify the component on the network. More importantly, the
hostname will not change on its own (unlike the IP setting), making it ideal for bookmarking.
For example, if the system is set up in the primary meeting room, the hostname could be called, "MainRoom" resulting in
the address: .
http://mainroom.local
1. Go to the LAN Setup page.
2. Under CU hostname, select the default name and delete it.
3. Enter the new hostname.
4. Select the button to save the name.
Apply Changes
5. Check the address by typing into the browser: http://hostname.local
6. If desired, bookmark the page.
