Chapter 12:
Menus: System Config
The gateway address must be set to be consistent with your existing TCP/IP network
and the remote machine that will be controlling the unit. Your network administrator
can provide you with the gateway IP address to use.
Gateway IP addresses are represented as four numbers (each from 0 to 255), separated
by periods (for example, 10.0.0.1).
Using a gateway IP address of 0.0.0.0 disables the use of the default gateway.
The Gateway option is set by using the Enter key and control knob. Pressing the
Enter key cycles through which of the four numeric components of the gateway IP
address is being modified; the control knob sets the value of that numeric component,
from 0 to 255. Pressing the Exit key stores the gateway IP address.
Default Setting: 0.0.0.0
Related Settings: IP Address, Netmask
Machine Name
Specifies the name which the unit will appear as to remote controllers and networks.
This allows the unit to be visually recognized on a remote station by name, rather
than by an address number.
The name can be up to 23 characters long, and is set by using the Enter key and
control knob.
Pressing the Enter key cycles through which character position (1 to 23) is to be
modified; the control knob selects a new character for that position. Two consecutive
spaces are not allowed; attempting to move to the next character position after a space
will return to the first character position.
Pressing the Exit key stores the new Machine Name.
Default Setting: No-name
DCN Address
Reports the address at which the unit will be found on a DCN network (DPS Coaxial
Network). This address is set at the factory, and cannot be changed by the operator.
Remote Watch
Enables or disables visual feedback, on the display panel, of commands executed by
remote control.
Valid Settings: Enabled, Disabled
Default Setting: Enabled
When this setting is disabled, commands executed by a remote controller (such as the
DPS RC-475 or RC-4000) are not visually reported on the front panel of the DPS-
475/575.
When this setting is enabled, and the unit is at the Idle Screen, any commands
executed by a remote controller are shown visually on the front panel of the unit.
Ethernet Address
Reports the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address of the unit. This address
may be needed in some network configurations. This address is set at the factory, and
cannot be changed by the operator.
