Setting Network
•
AMC Configure > Network
As previously mentioned, the AMC is factory configured with both a default IP Address at 192.168.0.210 and DHCP client. For
network administrators wishing to manage DHCP access the media access control address (MAC address) is printed on the
rear panel of the device. With this information a network administrator may assign a specific IP address to the unit from the
network DHCP server.
The current network settings will be displayed in the individual fields when this menu is opened. Modifying the IP address and
other network parameters will over-ride the current settings.
CAUTION: Improper or incorrect settings may result in no access and restoring the default settings may be the only way to
regain access to the unit.
