6 Enter the netmask using the same technique used for entering the IP address, then press the bottom
display knob when finished.
You’ll then be asked to confirm your selection (Yes or No).
7 Rotate the bottom display knob to select Yes, then press the knob to apply your selection.
Receptor will update your TCP/IP settings — a process that will take a few seconds.
Receptor will now use the IP Address that you just entered manually. To see this address at any time, simply
rotate the top display knob until it displays
TCP/IP Address . The bottom line will then show the IP address
used by Receptor.
For more information about networking setups and Receptor, see Chapter 12, “Connecting Receptor to a
Computer.”
Using Crossover Mode
Select this option if you are not using a Router or Switcher and are connecting Receptor directly to your
computer using a crossover Ethernet cable. To select and use Crossover Mode:
1 Connect a Crossover Ethernet Cable between your computer and Receptor.
2 If Receptor is not already in “Crossover” mode, put your Receptor into that mode by rotating the bottom
display knob to select Crossover, then press the bottom display knob to apply your selection.
You’ll be asked to confirm whether you want to make this change (Yes or No).
3 Rotate the bottom display knob to select Yes, then press the knob to apply your selection.
4 Before the switch to Crossover mode can take effect, you must turn off your PC and double-click
Receptor’s power button to turn it off.
5 Turn Receptor and your computer back on.
Receptor will now act as a DHCP server and provide an IP address to your PC.
WARNING: Never use Crossover Mode if Receptor is connected to a standard network. Most networks have
DHCP servers of their own. When Receptor is in Crossover mode, it is acting as a DHCP server, and the
presence of two such servers could confuse the network.
NOTE TO MACINTOSH USERS: If you’re using a Macintosh computer, crossover connections will work
without setting Receptor to Crossover Mode. If you frequently move your Receptor between a Macintosh
location that requires a network connection and one that requires a crossover connection, it’s alright to
leave Receptor in “Auto (DHCP)” mode. If, however, you plan to always use your Receptor with a crossover
connection to a Macintosh, you should set Receptor to “Crossover” mode to speed up the startup process.
Windows users must ALWAYS use Crossover Mode when using a crossover connection.
For more information about Crossover Mode and Crossover connections, see “Crossover Connection” on page
145.
