Ethernet Configuration

The Ethernet Configuration page lets you view and modify the settings of the Ethernet port. When the page is first accessed, it shows the current control settings. Click the Modify button to bring up a form that allows you to make changes to those settings.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - If you do not have a clear understanding of network addresses, DNS setup, etc., contact the system administrator at your organization for help in configuring your receiver. Improper configuration can result in loss of communications with your receiver and may cause problems with the normal operation of the network at your organization.

The ethernet interface on a NetRS system operates in one of two modes:

When the Ethernet Configuration page is first displayed, the current mode (DHCP or Static IP) is indicated, along with the current settings for the interface. When Modify is clicked, a form will be presented allowing you to select a new mode or change any values as needed. The following parameters are either displayed or modifiable:

As mentioned above, it is possible to change the Ethernet Configuration parameters in such a way that you can no longer communicate with the NetRS over the ethernet. If this should occur, you will be unable to access the Ethernet Configuration page using the ethernet. Should this happen you have several methods for recovery.
