You w
will need to set fixed IP addressses for each o
of your DT11 deevices. This is necessary for proper operattion, and so
o that the DT11
1 units will nott interfere with
h any other devvices on your n
network. However, you can sskip settingg the IP addressses on the uniits, and go to SStep 2, only if:
 The TX and RX units aare connected only by an Eth
hernet cable, w
with no router o
or switch in betwee
en (one‐to‐onee operation): DT11‐TX

or more RX units are connectted through a sswitch, but no PCs  There is only one TX unit, and one o

need to connecct a computer using an Ethernet cable to eaach DT11 (TX aand RX) unit in order t
to access its co

perational IP a
address” previo
ously, enteringg this Setup mo
ode will revert all settings back to the facto
ory defaults: Now, you can enter an IP address for this unit, and also a friendly device name. Some rules‐of‐thumb: 

Because the DT11 / DT70 units will not be interacting with any other devices on your network, the IP address should be on a subnet which is currently not used by any device on your network. For example, if your router and DHCP server use the 192.168.1.x subnet, you set all your DT11 / DT70 devices to another subnet, such as its current factory subnet 192.168.168.x. However, be sure that every DT11 / DT70 unit has a unique address. For the Device Name, use a descriptive name which can easily be identified by the user. See example below. Permitted IP Address Ranges:
 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.254.254  172.16.0.0 to 172.31.254.254  10.0.0.0 to 10.254.254.254  When done, click on SAVE, then EXIT. The unit will restart. 1.7. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer and the unit. The DT11 / DT70 unit is now configured with the IP address 192.168.168.200, and Device Name “Lobby TV”. 1.8. Repeat steps 1.2 to 1.7 for all DT11 / DT70 units in your setup, making sure each unit has a different IP address, but MUST HAVE the same first three octets (ie. 192.168.168.x). Here is an example: Device Name IP Address Unit Type DT11‐RX Lobby TV 192.168.168.200 DT11‐RX Upstairs TV 192.168.168.201 DT11‐TX DVD‐Player‐1 192.168.168.202 DT11‐TX DVR 192.168.168.203 1.9. Go back to the TCP/IP properties window as shown in step 1.1.1 above, and change it back to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Click OK, then OK, then CLOSE. 2.
Now that all your DTT11 / DT70 devvices are configgured properlyy, you can begin connecting aall the hardwarre and herals togetherr. periph

n preventing m
multiple multicaast streams fro
om flooding thee entire netwo
