Audio Alignment Level
The Audio Alignment radio buttons provide a means to select from EBU for standard 
European transmissions or SMPTE, the standard for North American transmissions. 
The ranges in dBm are shown below:
•  EBU [0dBm = -18dBFS]
•  SMPTE [+4dBm = -20dBFS]
Network Confi guration
IP Type
The Internet Protocol Type drop-down entry fi eld provides the choice of either Static or 
DHCP [Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol] to confi gure the 
NewS
tream
 transmitter. 
Internet Protocol addresses are assigned to a host either at the time of booting, or 
permanently, by fi xed confi guration of its hardware or software. Fixed, or persistent 
confi guration uses a Static IP address. 
DHCP is a network protocol used to confi gure network devices to communicate on an 
IP network. A DHCP client uses DHCP protocol to acquire confi guration information, 
such as an IP address, a default router and one or more DNS server addresses from 
a DHCP server. The DHCP client then uses this information to confi gure its host. Once 
the confi guration process is complete, the host is able to communicate on the Internet. 
IP Address
The Internet Protocol Address that is displayed for the 
NewS
tream
 transmitter can 
be modifi ed. Click within the fi eld and type the value of the address that you want to 
modify. Click Save Changes to retain the IP Address. When 
NewS
tream
 uses the 
DHCP type, this fi eld displays the IP address received by the DHCP server.
 
Net Mask
A sub-network, or subnet, is a logical subdivision of an IP Network. All computers that 
belong to a subnet are addressed with a common, identical, most-signifi cant bit-group 
in their IP address. This results in the logical division of an IP address into two fi elds: a 
network or routing prefi x and the rest fi eld or host identifi er. The rest fi eld is an identifi er 
for a specifi c host or network interface.  Special gateways called routers exchange 
traffi c between sub-networks. Such routers constitute the logical or physical boundaries 
between the subnets.
To change the Net Mask address, type the new value and click Save to retain the 
Subnet Mask. When 
NewS
tream
 uses the DHCP type, this fi eld displays the Subnet 
Mask received by the DHCP server.
