Verifying settings 16. Verifying the network environment 1. Connecting the computer A computer can be connected to this unit's CONTROL connector using a LAN cable (either straight or cross). LAN cable Open a web browser on the computer, and enter "http:// 192.168.0.3" (or an amended IP address) in the address field. The web menu used to configure this unit appears. Note When configuring settings, be sure to click the [Apply] button after configuring settings in each web menu page. If you switch to a different page or close the web browser without clicking the [Apply] button, the settings will not be applied. The factory settings for this unit's CONTROL connector are as follows. IP address: 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.0.253 The network settings can be checked via the [Status] page of the web menu or via the text information superimposed on the monitor output. 2. Changing the password User names and passwords can be changed on the [Others] page. Password entry is required to display pages other than the [Status] page and [Operator] page. The factory default user name and password are as follows. User name: Users Password: NXL-IP55 3. Network settings The network settings are configured on the [Network] page. Settings must be configured for the MAIN connector network, which transmits the main line signal, and the CONTROL connector network, which connects to the computer used to setup this unit. MAIN connector settings These are configured under [Main Port Configuration] on the [Network] page. Although it is one connector, it has two IP addresses - Main 1 and Main 2. When you configure the IP address for Main 1, a sequential IP address is configured for Main 2 automatically. Make sure that the IP addresses do not overlap with other devices. • [Host IP Address (1/2)]: Enter the IP address for Main 1. • [Host IP Address (2/2)]: This is configured automatically when you enter an address for [Host IP Address (1/2)]. This cannot be modified. • [Subnet Mask]: This setting is the same for Main 1 and Main 2. • [Destination IP Address (1/2)]: Enter the Main 1 IP address of the other connected NXL-IP55 unit (i.e., the connection destination). • [Destination IP Address (2/2)]: This is configured automatically when you enter an address for [Destination IP Address (1/2)]. This cannot be modified. • [Speed]: Displays the connection speed. • [Stream Mode]: Set to "Multicast" if using the PC application software (optional), or set to "Unicast" otherwise. Note In Multicast mode, multicast packets are sent from the switch to all ports, which may affect communication on other ports. In order to avoid this, use the IGMP snooping function and IGMP query function of the switch to monitor traffic, or take other measures such as segmenting the network connected to the MAIN connector and the network with the CONTROL connector using VLANs. 11 Settings
