2.2 Setting the Media Network IP Address

The Media IP Address corresponds to the LAN1 (Eth0) network interface. Follow the procedure
below to set this IP address.

NOTE: Both Ethernet ports (media and management) on the QVidium™ Pro-MPEG DVB-ASI
Gateway have identical functionality. Either Ethernet interface can be used for media,
management, or both types of traffic. The designation here of Media or Management interface is
therefore an arbitrary designation – you can reassign their use to best suit your needs.

1. Press

the (Cancel) button. You should see

>TransmitIP

on the second line.

2. Press

the (Down) arrow button until you should see

>Setup


3. Press the

(Select) button. You should see the

>LAN1 IP Addr


option on the second line. LAN1 is the Media interface, although both LAN1 and

LAN2 can be used for video traffic as well as system control.

4. Press the

(Select) button. You should see on the display:

LAN1 IP Addr

192.168.000.031

5. Use the Left and Right arrows to move the cursor to the digit in the IP Address that you want

to change.


6. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to change the digits.

7. Press the

(Select) button to save the change or use the

(Cancel) button to not change

the address. The IP address change takes effect immediately upon pressing Select.


8. Press

the (Cancel) button twice to get back to the top level.


Now that you have the IP address configured, you can use the web interface for more extensive
configuration, such as adding routes or a gateway address or turning on DHCP. Alternatively,
you can use the serial port connected to a terminal (set to 19200 Baud, 8-N-1) to change the IP
settings. Log in as user “root” (no password is initially set) and run “configip” at the command-
line prompt to set any of the IP parameters via any standard RS-232 ASCII terminal interface.
