Changing FM-531HD’s IP Address Configuration
The FM‑531HD’s pre‑configured
factory default
Ethernet Configuration is as follows:
Hardware IP Address:
192.168.1.200
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.1.1
The FM‑531HD’s network configuration can be viewed or changed using the front
panel and scrolling to <NETWORK> and hitting the enter key.
You can then view the four setting configurations:
Hardware IP Address – This is the address of the FM‑531HD’s DSP farm and is the
address that the remote GUI running on a host computer uses to connect to in order to
control the FM‑531HD. Clear this dialog box by backspacing over the existing address
and then enter the new address using the decimal point button to jump from octet to
octet within the IP address box.
Subnet Mask
– The subnet mask entry must be appropriate for the network being
used. Please see your local IT person if this item causes confusion, or consult one of
the free online resources such as http://www.subnetmask.info/ or http://www.subnet-
calculator.com/.
Gateway – This is the gateway address that the FM‑531HD will use to reach con
-
nections outside
of its own internal network. If you are on a local LAN segment or
connected to the FM‑531HD by a direct connection, the Gateway address is not usually
necessary and can be set to either 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255. Note that this choice
appears to be a bit “Windows‑dependent” and therefore dependent on the host PC be
-
ing used.
After determining the IP address that you wish the FM‑531HD to use, enter that
address in the FM‑531HD’s Hardware IP address field using the navigation buttons. It
is always a good idea to clear the entire IP address field first before entering new data to
ensure there will be no hard to see leading or training blanks in the address. Always use
the decimal point button to navigate to the position of the next network address octet.
MAC Address – The MAC Address is a unique identifier for the processor hardware
on your network. It is specific to your device and different from any other device on
the network. The MAC address of the FM‑531HD audio processor cannot be changed.
After viewing the settings above, there will be an option to <Edit..> the settings if
changes are needed. If you need to edit the settings:
• Scroll to the <Edit..> option on the dot matrix display
• The first field of numbers will blink on the <IP> field. Using the jog wheel, in
-
crease or decrease the numbers until they are at the correct value. Pressing the
enter key will move you along to the next set of numbers. Repeat until the IP
address is correct.
When the IP address is complete, the next set of addresses (Subnet) will appear for
editing. If you need to edit this field, repeat the steps above. If not, simply press the
enter key to move thru the fields until you get to the final set of addresses (Gateway).
Again, you have the option of editing or just pressing the enter key to bypass each field.
At the end of the menu, the box will confirm any changes by displaying <Okay>.
