Steps

  • HTML VIP web interface

    4. Click the Network Monitors link from the options on the left.
    5. Configure the Network Monitors as shown below while being aware of the following:
      • The "Host" boxes are blank in the examples shown.  When configuring the Network Monitors, the IP address used to fill in the "Host" box should match the IP in use on that actual piece of equipment.
        • For example, if the player computer onsite is set to 192.168.0.50; you would enter 192.168.0.50 in the Host box for the player monitor.
      • The IP address used for ISP Equipment should be an IP address that is external to the location and one that will not change.  Public DNS servers that respond to ping (ex. 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 8.8.4.4, 8.8.8.8) are common to use.
      • If no webcam is in use onsite it should be removed from the network monitors (by clicking the X in the corner) to prevent unnecessary power cycles.
