Step 4. Configure the IP Address

You need to configure the IP address as explained below on the server machine. When done, be sure

to reboot the machine before configuring the server in the ETV Portal Server. VBrick

strongly recommends that you use a static IP address rather than a dynamically-configured

DHCP. The use of a DHCP server creates a number of issues when the IP address changes.

For example clients configured to point to the VOD-WM server's IP address may need to be

re-configured. Also, the ETV Portal Server is configured to use the IP address of the VOD-

WM server so the Portal Server configuration will have to change. You can configure the IP

address by connecting a monitor to the VGA port on the server.

T To configure the static IP address of the server machine in Windows:

1. Go to

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection.

2. Then click on

Properties and double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

3. Click on

Use the following IP address and enter the values provided by your system

administrator for

IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway.

4. Click

OK when done.
