TCP/IP Connection

Within a Local

Network

In this case of use, the receiver and the computer are
connected to the same local area network (LAN) and may
even be in the same room. Here the communication will NOT
take place through the public Internet, but simply within the
local network.

The connection diagram typically is the following.

The valid receiver IP address to be sent to the users is the one
read on the receiver display screen
. To read this IP address,
from the General Status screen, press the Scroll button twice
to access the Receiver Identification screen. The IP address
appears in the lower line. Please write it down.

The IT Manager may also create a host name for the receiver.
The choice of using or not using the DHCP mode within the
local network, and the consequence of this choice on which
information to provide to users for the connection are also the
decision and responsibility of the IT Manager.
