Operation Manual

The configuration parameters are:
 Device Name: This field controls the top-level name of the device in the Dashboard tree.
It defaults to “Standalone Encoder”. Changes to this field take effect immediately.
 IP Configuration: This field selects the control port IP configuration mode, as follows:
o Static IP: This option selects a static IP configuration, specified by the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server fields.
o DHCP: This option selects control port IP address configuration by DHCP. If
this option is selected, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS
Server fields are not shown.
 IP Address: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. Enter the
desired control port IP address. You cannot set this IP address to the same value as the
Ethernet1/Ethernet2 IP addresses (see the Network Tab section earlier in this document).
 Subnet Mask: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. Enter the
desired control port subnet mask.
 Default Gateway: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP.
Enter the desired control port default gateway.
 DNS Server: This field is only shown if IP Configuration is set to Static IP. Enter the
desired DNS Server IP address. Note that DNS is only used for RTMP output. This field
can be left at 0.0.0.0 if RTMP is not used. If you wish to configure more than one DNS
server, you can enter them in the Network Configuration DNS Tab. If you configure
DNS servers here and in the Network Configuration, the server specified here will be
contacted first.
 NTP Server: If you want the unit to be NTP-synchronized (for logging purposes), enter
the IP address of an accessible NTP server in this field. If you do not need NTP, you can
leave this field at 0.0.0.0. If your B264 has access to the Internet through the control port,
you can point it to one of the public NTP servers for your region. You can find more
details on this link:
http://psp2.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome
 Apply/Cancel: Use these buttons to apply or cancel the changes to the control port IP
configuration. Note that if you change the IP address, DashBoard may lose contact with
the B264. The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway entries will be checked for
consistency and will be rejected if invalid.
Control Port Statistics Tab
The Control Port statistics screen is depicted below. It contains the current settings for the
control port. If you have configured the unit for DHCP, it will include the current IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and the first DNS server obtained from the DHCP server. It also
includes the link state for the individual control Ethernet ports.
