Network Configuration Web Page
The network web page shown in Figure 5-9 allows a technician to set
certain network parameters by which the shuffler will interface with the
casino network.
Typical installation of the shuffler would require that the shoe is
networked into an established computer with DCHP capability; the ability
to automatically assign dynamic IP addresses for the shuffler. Multiple
shufflers are connected to a hub that is connected to a server computer.
If a DCHP network is not available, a unique static IP address must be
assigned to each shuffler. These unique IP numbers must be determined
by the Casino’s IT department and each number will need to be
individually programmed into each shuffler via the Network Configuration
web page.
Default IP Address
The
MD2® CR
shuffler defaults to an IP address of 169.254.0.1. If two or
more shufflers are connected on the same network, unique IP addresses
must be programmed into each shuffler to avoid network conflicts.
Current Network
The MAC address is a number that is guaranteed to be unique to each
device. It is set automatically by the microprocessor in each shuffler.
The IP address is the default IP address for every shuffler. It is the IP
address used to interface with the shuffler when it is networked with a
single computer (for setup).
Options for use on a DHCP Network:
Startup Network
Enable Network must be checked for the shuffler to send and receive
messages via a network.
Try DHCP first: This option box must be checked so that the shuffler
will request an IP address with which to communicate on the casino
network.
Static IP address, Static subnet mask and Static DNS server: These
areas are not used on a DHCP network.
