ADVANCED OPERATION
M4000-PRO provides a built-in HTTP (web page server at default port 80) which can
be accessed via a typical “web page browser” allowing the user to configure the
network settings.
• DHCP or static IP address assignment
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway Address
• DNS server Address 1
On start-up, M4000-PRO will use two IP addresses on its Ethernet connection:
1. A random link-local address can be discovered by link-local utilities such as the
Bonjour zero-configuration networking utility by Apple.
2. A local network address, either statically assigned, or from DHCP. If the address
was assigned by DHCP it can be discovered by inspection of your router’s
connected devices table.
In addition to providing external access and control via Panamax/Furman’s hosted
BlueBOLT platform, M4000-PRO may also be interfaced to control and automation
systems on the local area network. Command, information and event messages are
provided in standard XML format over UDP port 57010.
