Network
The Network menu allows you to configure several parameters to ensure compatibility
between the device and its IP network. The parameters are:
DHCP Configuration—To enable or disable the use of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) to automatically get a valid network configuration for the device from a
server. You can set this option only if the device is connected to a network that uses a
DHCP server. For more information about DHCP, see Appendix B on page 43.
Local IP Address—The unique IP address of the device on the network. The IP address
format is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each
number is in the 0–255 range. Each device on a network must have a unique IP
address.
Subnet Mask—The binary configuration specifying in which subnet the IP address of the
device belongs. A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a common address
component. Unless otherwise specified by your network administrator, it is
recommended to use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Gateway—The IP address of the network point that acts as an entrance to another
network. Never use the IP address of the device as the gateway value.
Host Name—An alias for the IP address of the device. It is made up of 2 to
24 alphanumerical characters; the first one must be a character. This parameter is
optional.
Note: It is up to the DHCP server to register the host name in the DNS server.
For more information about these settings, contact your network administrator.
Video
You can configure parameters relative to the encoding or decoding of video in the device.
