Specifying an IP address for connecting to other network devices

The Pandad Windows service that runs on the NWare PC will detect the nTouch 180 unit using a specified IP address and make it available in NWare. This IP address will also be used to connect to other MediaMatrix devices on the network.

The nTouch 180 motherboard is fitted with two Ethernet ports. If both ports are used, two IP addresses will be used. You will therefore need to specify which IP address to advertise to Pandad.

If you have specified the IP addresses manually via the web interface, they will be displayed under Local Area Connection and Local Area Connection 2 on the Network page. If you are using DHCP, you will need to ask your systems administrator to look at the DHCP configuration for your network to see how addresses have been allocated to interfaces on the nTouch 180 unit.

To specify an IP address for connecting to other network devices

1. On the Network screen, under Panda Interface, select an IP address to advertise to Pandad on the control network.

   The details for the Local Area Connection interface are shown first, followed by the details for Local Area Connection 2.

2. Click Set to confirm the action.

   You will be asked to log on.

3. Specify your username and password. The default username is superuser; it has no password.
