Network Connections
The switcher is equipped with two Ethernet ports to allow
remote access. Once the Ethernet ports are set up, you
can connect to the switcher over FTP to upload stills to
the Media-Store channels, as well as download switcher
data les.
The switcher does not require an IP address to operate.
Network Setup
Setting up a network connection allows you to connect
to the switcher remotely. By default, the switcher uses
DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. You can
manually set a static IP address, network mask, and
default gateway if your network does not have a DHCP
server.

To Set an IP Address Using DHCP
Due to the nature of DHCP, your switcher may get a
different IP address each time it is powered on or
re-connected to a network. You must have the switcher
connected to a network to be able to obtain an IP address
using DHCP.
Tip: Network settings can also be set from the Network tab
on the Configuration node in DashBoard.
