Network configuration
You need to set the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the receiver and the subnet/network mask and gateway address to establish a connection to the RCP. To define the receiver’s network settings, you will require the network configuration details from the RCP.
From the main menu, select Settings and then select Network Configuration and configure as follows.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Use DHCP | Specifies whether to dynamically assign an IP address and other network configuration parameters to the receiver. Clear this check box to disable DHCP while only running static IP addresses, installing a device that runs DHCP and there is already a DHCP server on the network, and while configuring network settings. |
IP Address | Enter the required IP address (for example,192.169.040.101) to identify the receiver on the network. When connecting the receiver to another point, the same IP address must be used except the last subnet number which can be any number between 0 to 254. This IP address must match the subnet of the OCP/RCP. For a Sony RCP, the IP address is the same as the Target Address with the RCP set to Bridge mode. |
Network Mask | Enter the required subnet/network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0). This must be the same as the RCP’s subnet mask. |
Gateway Address | Enter the required gateway address. This must be the same as the RCP’s gateway address and is the address of the router interface that is connected to the network. |
