Choosing machine names and IP addresses for your Ethernet video network
The default machine name for each Profile XP system is the unit serial number. You may
want to change the name to something more meaningful, such as
Profile1
or
Profile2
.
The video network option also requires you to set up two IP addresses for each
Profile XP unit, one for the Windows NT Ethernet interface and the other for the
Ethernet video network interface. A common mistake is to choose IP addresses for the
Windows NT and video network interfaces using the same network ID. This is wrong;
the IP addresses for each network must be unique.
Here is an example of IP addresses for two Profile XP systems:
Computer Name:
Profile1
Windows NT Ethernet interface IP Address:
192.168.99.1
Video Network Ethernet interface IP Address:
192.168.101.1
Computer Name:
Profile2
Windows NT Ethernet interface IP Address:
192.168.99.2
Video Network Ethernet interface IP Address:
192.168.101.2
You can use the these addresses if you want, but if you are connecting either Ethernet
interface to an existing network, check with your system administrator for the correct
names and IP addresses to use.
Use the table below to enter information you’ll need when you configure your networks.
Refer to the procedures in “Setting up a simple video network: Ethernet” on page 279,
when you to set up the Ethernet video network.
