12: Connecting Receptor to a Computer 148 Receptor Manual
Also, if you have multiple Receptors, you may simply add them to the network as shown below:
Ethernet routers and switchers are available at most computer supply stores.
When you use Receptor on a network, you can choose either dynamic IP addressing (called “Auto (DHCP)”) or
manual IP addressing.
Auto (DHCP) IP Connections
To set up a network connection and configure Receptor to use Auto (DHCP):
1 Make sure that your Ethernet router/switcher is turned on and that your computer and Receptor are turned
off.
2 Connect a standard Ethernet cable between Receptor’s Ethernet port and an open port on your router/
switcher.
3 Turn on your computer, then turn on Receptor and set its TCP/IP Settings to Auto (DHCP).
To do this from the front panel: 1) press the SETUP button, then 2) turn the top display knob to select the “TCP/IP
Setup” parameter, then 3) turn the bottom display knob to select “Auto (DHCP)” and 4) press the bottom display knob
to apply your selection.
To do this from the graphical interface: 1) click the Setup tab in the View bar at the top of the screen and, 2) in the
Network section of the Setup screen, click the “Auto (DHCP)” option under “TCP/IP Settings,” then 3) click Apply.
4 Double-click Receptor’s power button to turn off Receptor then, once it shuts down, press the Power
button to turn Receptor back on.
Receptor will, upon starting up, get an IP address dynamically and will always do so unless you change TCP/IP
Settings.
Manual IP Connections
To set up a network connection and configure Receptor to use a Manual IP:
1 Make sure that your Ethernet router/switcher is turned on and that your computer and Receptor are turned
off.
2 Connect a standard Ethernet cable between Receptor’s Ethernet port and an open port on your router/
switcher.
