Press the Down arrow on the server’s LCD display to access the Menu. If there is more

than one network cable attached to the system, then the first menu will ask which device

you want to configure. See diagram for the port numbering.

The Up and Down arrows can be used to select which device to configure. Once the

appropriate device has been found, press Enter to continue with the configuration

process.
Select “yes” by using the Up and Down arrows at the DHCP menu to configure the

selected ethernet device automatically.
To specifiy the IP address statically, select “no” at the DHCP menu and press Enter. Then

use the Left and Right arrows to select the part of the IP address to modify. Use the Up

and Down arrows to adjust its value. An underscore will appear below the part of the

IP address that is being modified.
Once a valid IP address has been entered, press Enter to accept.
Configure the subnet mask and default gateway using the above instructions. Press

Enter after each address has been configured. Generally, eth0 should be used for

control, and eth1 for video. Note that out of the box, eth0 is set to DHCP, and eth1 is

set to static IP 1.1.1.1.

Configure Networking

Press the Down arrow to access the menu. Use the Right arrow button to navigate to the “Configure

Input Network Feed” menu, and press Enter.
Use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the source of the input feed (eth0 or eth1).
Select the feed type, then press Enter. The different incoming stream types you can select are: unicast,

multicast, or source-specific multicast (SSM).
If unicast was selected, use the Up and Down arrows to select the UDP port. Press Enter. Then use Up

and Down arrows to select or deselect RTP mode.
If multicast was selected, specify the multicast address using the same procedure you used in Step 2.

Once set, select the port and RTP mode as described under the unicast instructions above.
If SSM was selected, specify the multicast address, then specify the source IP address in the same

manner. Once set, select the port and RTP mode as described above.

IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT

DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Your appliance will acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. This isn’t ideal for an appliance like your TelVue

®

server because your server may be assigned a new IP address unexpectedly, and it can be hard to determine

what its current IP address is.

Static IP

You set an IP address during configuration and the appliance always uses that IP address. This is the preferred

method because you always know what the IP address is. You will need an available IP address on your network,

outside the DHCP range. Contact your IT department to get one. TelVue

®

recommends an IP address in the form

192.168.nnn.nnn, 172.nnn.nnn.nnn., or 10.nnn.nnn.nnn.

DHCP Reservation

The reservation tells your DHCP server to give your appliance the same IP address. This lets you use the simpler

DHCP setup for your appliance, while still letting it use the same IP address. Refer to your DHCP server’s

documentation to set up a reservation.
