Chapter 3 WEB NMS Operation
User not only can use front buttons to set configuration, but also can control and set
the configuration in computer by connecting the device to web NMS Port. User
should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from the SIG7412 T MPEG2’s IP address;
otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.
3.1 Encoder login
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136. (We can modify the IP through the front
panel.)
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment.
I.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, we then change the PC IP to 192.168.0.xxx (xxx can be 1
to 254 except 136 to avoid IP conflict).
Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder & Modulator’s IP address
in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.
It will display the Login interface as Figure 1. Input the Username and Password
(Both the default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN” to start the device
setting.
