• “STATUS”: allows you to access to the information regarding the routing and process
DSPs percentage of use. In case the working limit of any of them is exceeded the
indication “OVL” (Overload) is shown.
3.4.2. “SETUP“ menu.
Through the “IPSET” option in a contextual key, this menu enables you to display and modify
the IP configuration associated with the two Ethernet ports available on the back panel of the
equipment (“LAN” and “ETHERNET”: see section 2.2.2.2 of this manual) in the form of IP
address, subnet mask (MASK) and gateway (GWAY). Only level 3 users are allowed to modify
these parameters (the “SETUP” key is shown to other users but is not active).
IMPORTANT NOTE: the IP addresses of both Ethernet ports must not be configured into
the same network. For instance, if “LAN” port is configured with 172.31.34.1 IP address and
255.255.0.0 mask, the IP address of the “ETHERNET” port should be different from 172.31.x.x
(where x is any number between 0 and 255).
As in many other AEQ FORUM console submenus, the icon in the upper left-hand corner
indicates that browsing and configuration are performed by using the associated rotary
encoders.
From left to right, the three rotary encoders are associated with “IP”, “MASK” and “GWAY” fields
respectively. Each one of these fields consist of 4 number separated by dots and named bytes.
A flashing cursor indicates the byte that is subject to be changed at that moment by turning the
associated encoder. Pressing any of the 3 encoders allows you to change from one byte to the
next one. This process is repeated from left to right until the IP address is complete, as well as
the associated subnet mask and gateway.
The “OK” contextual key allows you to validate and save the changes, returning then to the
previous screen. The “BACK” contextual key allows you to return to the previous screen without
changes saving.
The “ETH”/”LAN” contextual key allows you to alternate the on-screen presentation and,
therefore, to edition of the IP configuration parameters associated with the two network ports
available on the rear panel of the unit: “LAN” and “ETHERNET”.
