Configuring Network Settings
If your environment uses DHCP, the TC8 device automatically connects to your primary network after
plugging it into a LAN port in the room with your video system.
You also can manually configure the device’s network settings if, for example, your environment requires
static IP addresses or the DHCP server is offline.
Note: Network settings are available only when the device isn’t paired with a video system.
Manually Configure IPv4 Address Settings
You can manually specify the TC8 device’s IPv4 address settings.
Procedure
1. In the device local interface, go to Settings > Network.
2. Turn the Obtain Automatically Using DHCP setting off.
This allows you to manually set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields.
3. Configure the following settings:
Setting Description
IP Address Specifies your device’s IP address.
Subnet Mask Specifies the subnet mask assigned to your device.
Default Gateway Specifies the default gateway assigned to your device.
4. Select Save.
Manually Assign a Host Name and Domain Name
You can manually enter the host name and domain name for your TC8 device. You also can modify these
settings even if your network automatically assigns them.
Procedure
1. In the device local interface, go to Settings > Network.
2. Enter or modify the device Host Name.
If the device discovers a valid name during setup or a software update, the device automatically
creates the host name. However, if the device finds an invalid name, such as a name with a
space, the device creates a host name using the following format: DeviceType-xxxxxx, where
xxxxxx is a set of random alphanumeric characters.
3. Optional: Enter or modify the Domain Name that the device belongs to.
4. Select Save.
Manually Configure DNS Settings
You can manually specify the DNS server settings for your TC8 device.
