SETTING UP TCP/IP AND BANDWIDTH THROTTLE
The DX8000 uses the TCP/IP networking protocol to communicate over LAN and WAN networks. TCP/IP uses logical network ports to organize
data transmissions and to ensure that data packets are delivered to the proper application. For example, e-mail is traditionally delivered through
TCP/IP port 25 and web pages through port 80.
The following table describes the ports assigned to direct video and control information into and out of the DX8000. You should keep port
numbers set at their default values unless there is a known conflict with your existing network infrastructure. Consult your network administrator
before changing any port information on the DX8000.
Access the Network page to set up the TCP/IP DHCP and bandwidth throttle options. For information on accessing the Network page, refer to
Setting Up DX8000 Network Access on page 143. Consult your network administrator before assigning or changing port numbers. Make sure that
the ports are not blocked internally but are protected from external threats by a firewall. Client and server ports must be identical.
To configure the base port and software upgrade port:
1. If necessary, in the DX8000 Base Port box, enter a new base port number (9002 is the default).
2. If necessary, in the Software Upgrade Port box, enter a new software upgrade port (9003 is the default).
3. If necessary, in the Information Port box, enter a new information port (9005 is the default).
4. To set the network bandwidth throttle to limit the amount of network resources allocated to client connections, drag the network bandwidth
throttle slider to the desired value. (Client bandwidth can be adjusted from a minimum of 256 Kbps to a maximum of 10 Mbps in increments
of 256 Kbps.)
5. Click Apply.
