The NET SETUP Menu Options
The NET SETUP menu options are used to configure IP addresses and network connection parameters:
Menu option | Description / comments |
---|---|
IP ADDRESS | Used to set the IP address of the panel. |
IP GATEWAY | Used to set the IP address of the gateway that the panel uses when connecting to the matrix. |
DNS SERVER | Used to set the IP address of the Domain Name server used by the panel. |
LOGIN IP | Used to set the IP address of the matrix the panel will connect to. The address refers to the IVC-32 card address that is set up in EHX. |
LOGIN PORT | Used to set up the IP port that the panel uses when logging in to the matrix. The login port must be the same as the port set up in EHX under System Preferences > IP Panels. When the panel logs in, the panel will be sent the IP address and port to use when communicating with the IVC-32 card. This is configured in EHX under Matrix Hardware. |
DHCP | Used to enable or disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If enabled, the panel can be assigned an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS server automatically from the DHCP server rather than having to manually configure the panel. When DHCP is disabled, the panel can be configured manually with network parameters including the DNS server. |
SUBNETMASK | Used to set the subnet mask for the IP network the panel is to be used on. Commonly the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0. |
CON TYPE | Used to determine the connection type (WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network) or INTERNET). The connection type may determine whether DHCP and DNS are used. |
DNS/IP | Used to switch between DNS and IP server modes. In DNS server mode, you can enter a login name for the IVC server that the panel connects to. In IP server mode you must enter the IP address of the IVC server. |
AES67 DHCP | Used to enable or disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If enabled, the panel can be assigned an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS server automatically from the DHCP server rather than having to manually configure the panel. |
AES67 IP | When DHCP is disabled, the panel can be configured manually with network parameters including the DNS server. |
