Configuration Tabs

Network Configuration Interfaces Tab

This tab allows the configuration of the individual streaming ports.

The following parameters can be configured:

 Alarm on Link Loss: If set to Yes, the card will raise an alarm if this Ethernet interface

loses link. The Card State indicator in Dashboard™ and the front Status LED will both

be red. If set to No, the card will still report loss of link in the Statistics page but no

alarm will be raised. Niagara Video recommends turning on the alarm for ports that are

in use; only turn it off if you do not plan to connect that port to a network.

 IP Address: Enter the desired IP address for this Ethernet port. In the B264, this IP

address cannot be the same as the Control Port IP Address (see the Control Port

Configuration Tab).

 Subnet Mask: Enter the desired subnet mask for this Ethernet port.

 Default Gateway: Enter the desired default gateway for this Ethernet port, or 0.0.0.0 if

no gateway is available.

 Interface Settings: If you make any changes to the IP Address, Subnet Mask and/or

Default Encoder fields, the Apply and Cancel buttons become active. The changes only

take effect when you press the Apply button. Pressing the Cancel button reverts the

fields back to their original values. Note that the B264 will check the consistency of the

data entered and will reject invalid combinations (i.e., combinations where the gateway is

outside the interface subnet). Once the Apply button is pressed, a status message appears

just below the Cancel button, as follows:
