Answer/Steps 

The steps outlined, if performed incorrectly, may result in equipment failure. Do not attempt these steps without proper training and understanding of product operation. Consult a Daktronics support technician if you need assistance.

1. Log into the Daktronics Remote Display Configuration for the VIP.  See How to Access the Daktronics Remote Display Configuration utility, DD3339916 for details.
2. Change the IP settings.
• Note: Daktronics recommends leaving the display at DHCP if possible as it makes the system plug and play, but if a static is required, it is important to set a primary and secondary DNS on the controller also. When a public DNS service is set on the VIP, the network will need to allow UDP traffic on port 53 for the display.
• Note: The process to change IP information will look one of two ways depending on firmware version in use.

New Interface 

1. Click the Network tile on the dashboard.
   
2. Under IP configuration select Automatic to have the display obtain IP and DNS settings automatically through DHCP or select Manual to enter static IP and DNS information.
   
• Note: mode should be left on NAT
3. Select Save in the upper left when finished.
