Nº500H Series Power Amplifier
•  
Subnet Mask – identifies the subnet mask for the Nº500H 
series. This IP address is automatically assigned by DHCP. 
If DHCP is off, then the address must be entered manually 
and must agree with the subnet mask address of the router. 
IP address 255.255.255.0 is the factory default value for the 
Nº500H series.
•  
Host Name – indicates the network name given to the 
Nº500H series amplifier. This host name is unique to each 
amplifier and is comprised of two parts, separated by an 
underscore. The first part contains one to eight characters that 
can be modified via the internal Web page of the amplifier.
The second part of the host name contains the last six
characters of the MAC address. This MAC address is unique to 
each Nº500H series amplifier. The default is “NO500H_xxxxxx”
where “x” stands for the last six characters of the unique MAC
address for that amplifier.
•  
DHCP – turns the DHCP capability on or off. When activated, 
DHCP assigns a unique IP address to the Nº500H series. The 
factory default value is On. We recommend leaving DHCP set 
to On.
Use this procedure if you are using a router with DHCP active to 
connect to the amplifier. Otherwise, skip to the next procedure.
1.    Connect the amplifier to the router, as described in the earlier 
“Connecting the Cables” procedure. Make sure that everything
is powered off before making cable connections.
2.   Turn on the PC and router. Verify that the router has DHCP
active.
3.   Press the Power button on the amplifier.
4.  On the computer, open the Internet Explorer Web browser.
5.   Type “http://NO500H_xxxxxx” on the address line (URL).  
The “x” characters stand for the last six characters of the
unique MAC address for that amplifier.
6.   Press Enter.
If Internet Explorer is unable to find the amplifier, then you
must find the IP address that was assigned to the amplifier by 
the router. If required, refer to your router’s owner’s manual 
for further details. Repeat this step using the IP address for the 
amplifier that was assigned by the router.
7.    The Home tab of the amplifier’s internal Web page is now 
displayed. The tab is in red text to indicate that it’s the current
page.
The network connection is now complete.
