Each IP Link device must have its IP address set before it is usable on an audio/visual network. There are three ways to set an IP address:
|
Add Device > Auto Config IPNote: The IP Link device must be a) physically connected to the network, and b) at its factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) for this procedure to work. See the device user's manual for instructions on resetting the device to its factory default condition. |
The Add Device dialog box (shown below) opens.
|
Note: A GlobalViewer Host is a device that will launch the GlobalViewer interface if its IP address is accessed in an Internet browser. Devices that are not designated as a GlobalViewer Host can be monitored and controlled from any GlobalViewer Host device on the same audio/visual network. |
The Advanced options of the Add Device dialog box are displayed.
|
The Auto Configure Successful dialog box opens.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)The ARP command assigns a given IP address to a device with a specified MAC address. Note: The IP Link device must be at its factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) for this procedure to work. See the device user's manual for instructions on resetting the device to its factory default condition. To use the ARP command:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
arp -s <IP address> < MAC address> example: C:\>arp -s 10.13.197.62 00-05-A6-01-9F-E4 The command above will assign IP address
10.13.197.62 to the device that has a MAC address of
example: C:\>ping 10.13.197.62 If the IP address setting was successful, the device will reply 3 or more times with: Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 |
Embedded Web PagesNote: The IP Link device must be at its factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) for this procedure to work. See the device user's manual for instructions on resetting the device to its factory default condition. To set an IP address using a device's embedded Web page: |
On Windows XP: Start > My Network Places >
IP address: = 192.168.254.253 Subnet mask: = 255.255.0.0 Default gateway: = <empty> |
Note: When a valid IP address is entered, the Subnet mask field may default to 255.255.255.0. Be sure to change it to 255.255.0.0. |
The IP Link device's Embedded Web Page is displayed. |

|
The new IP address is written to the device and the Web browser connection is immediately lost. The device, with its new IP address, is now ready to be connected to your audio/visual network. |
