4. In the ‘Quick Setup’ screen, set the MediaPack ‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Mask’ and ‘Default
Gateway IP Address’ fields under ‘IP Configuration’ to correspond with your network IP
settings. If your network doesn’t feature a default gateway, enter a dummy value in the
‘Default Gateway IP Address’ field.
5. Click the Reset button and click OK in the prompt; the MediaPack applies the changes and
restarts. This takes approximately 2 minutes to complete. When the MediaPack has finished
restarting, the Power and Ready LEDs on the front panel are lit green.
Tip: Record & retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the MediaPack.
Do the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded
Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your username and
password), use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device,
“reflash” the load and reset the password (refer to the MediaPack User’s
Manuals for detailed information on using a BootP/TFTP server to access the
device).
6. Disconnect your PC from the MediaPack or from the hub / switch (depending on the
connection method you used in step 1).
7. Reconnect the MediaPack and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
8. Restore your PC’s IP address & subnet mask to what they originally were. If necessary,
restart your PC and re-access the MediaPack via the Embedded Web Server with its new
assigned IP address.
3.1.2 Assigning an IP Address Using BootP
Tip 1: BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible
BootP server.
Tip 2: You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the MediaPack (refer to
the product’s User’s Manual).
¾ To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 12 steps:
1. Open the BootP application (supplied with the software package).
2. Click on the Edit Clients icon;
the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is displayed.
3. Click on the Add New Client icon;
a client with blank parameters is displayed (Figure 3-1).
4. In the ‘Client MAC’ field, enter the MAC address of the gateway. The MAC address is printed
on a label located on the base of the MediaPack.
5. Verify that the box to the right of the ‘Client MAC’ field is checked. This enables the particular
client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).
6. In the ‘Client Name’ field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to
remember which gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
7. In the ‘IP’ field, enter the IP address you want to apply to the gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
8. In the ‘Subnet’ field, enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the gateway. Use the
normal dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is
incorrect, the gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is
applied.
9. In the ‘Gateway’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you do not know the IP
address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
