Chapter 3
Operating the ProStream 9100
After installing the ProStream 9100, you can configure its platform and services. The
configuration and management application you use depends on whether the ProStream 9100 is
part of a network, or is operating as a standalone device.
This chapter describes how to access ProStream 9100 management for both options, and
includes the following sections:
Operating with NMX Digital Service Manager
Operating in Standalone Mode
Licensing Information
Operating with NMX Digital Service Manager
When you use NMX Digital Service Manager to manage the ProStream 9100 devices in your
network, you perform all configuration tasks, including IP address assignment, in NMX. You do
not need to do any configuration from the device front panel.
See the NMX online help for instructions on adding a ProStream 9100 to an NMX network group.
You need to know the MAC address of the device when you add the device to a network group.
See Front Panel Display for instructions on viewing the MAC address in the front panel display.
While you can perform all platform and configuration tasks from NMX, you use the standalone
GUI (SAG) to manage any feature license additions/deletions. For information about feature
licensing on the ProStream 9100, see Licensing Information.
Operating in Standalone Mode
When the ProStream 9100 operates in standalone mode, you must perform some initial network
configuration from the device front panel before using SAG to configure the platform and its
services.
The following sections describe how to use the front panel to set the IP address, default gateway,
and subnet mask for the device. After supplying these values, use SAG to fully configure the
device.
Using the Front Panel
You can perform some initial network configuration from the device front panel. From the front
panel, you can set the IP address of the device, default gateway, and subnet mask, and you can
view the device’s MAC address and serial number.
Front Panel Keypad
You use the keypad on the local control panel to set the IP address.
