Network

Click on the Network link, and you will see this page:

Host Name

Enter a convenient name, if you want to change from the Zephyr default. (Advanced note:

This is the Linux host name, used for network identification.)
Livewire port

If you have not already done so via the front panel LCD interface, enter the IP number you

would like the iPort to have within your LW network. Enter the netmask value used in your

system. No gateway is needed for the LW port since this is going to a LAN and there is no

need for offsite IP routing.
WAN port

Enter the values for the WAN-side network interface. Here, the gateway value is important

and required.
If you want to have Web access via the WAN port, such as for offsite configuration and

monitoring, click the checkbox for that.

When the Livewire and WAN networks are independent, the two IP addresses must be in
different subnets. In the example above, the 255.255.255.0 netmask means that any IP
number with the same first three digits would be in the same subnet. The LW and WAN
ports are in different subnets because we’ve entered different values in the third digit - 2
for the Livewire port and 1 for the WAN port. Other devices that need to communicate
with the iPort must be on the corresponding subnets.

However, if you do want only one connection to the iPort, then it’s OK to enter the same
subnet for both fields. In this case, both the Livewire and codec streams will be on
whichever single physical port you connect. The other should remain unconnected.
