Setting the IP mode to DHCP
Set Monarch HD to DHCP IP mode when connecting to a network with a DHCP
server, such as through a router.
1 Select DHCP.
2 Click Apply.
3 See “Network connection and IP address” on page 16 for instructions on
how to connect Monarch HD to a network with a DHCP server, and how to
acquire the Monarch HD network IP address to access the Command Center.
Setting the IP mode to Static
Set Monarch HD to Static IP mode when connecting to a network without a
DHCP server.
1 Select Static.
2 Enter a static IP address for your Monarch HD. Unless you change this
address, the default static IP address will be used (169.254.1.11). If you reset
the device in Static IP mode (see “Switch to Static IP mode” on page 11), the
static IP address reverts to default.
¦NoteWhen connecting multiple Monarch HD devices on the same network,
each Monarch HD device must have a unique network IP address.
3 Enter the Subnet mask on your network to which Monarch HD is
connected. By default, the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0.
4 Enter the Gateway IP address and DNS server.
5 Click Apply.
6 See Chapter 3, “Network Connection and Setup” for instructions on how to
connect Monarch HD to a network without a DHCP server, how to change
your computer’s network configuration to establish a connection between
your computer and the Monarch HD device, and how to access the
Command Center.
Preventing Monarch HD from appearing as a
UPnP device on the network
The Monarch HD uses the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to
broadcast itself as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device. This means that it
will appear in Windows Explorer (not visible in Mac OS) as if it were a a printer,
external hard drive, or similar UPnP device.
This feature is enabled by default, and makes it easier to find the Monarch HD on
a network if you do not know the device IP address. However, for security
reasons you may not want the Monarch HD to appear on your network for
anyone to see. If so, you can disable SSDP to hide the Monarch HD from
appearing as a UPnP device.
