Press the  buttons until the Port 10/100 DHCP menu appears. The front panel screen displays 

the DHCP and Unit Name fields. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the Satel-
lite Multiplex Decrypter to obtain a set of IP parameters from a DHCP server. The DHCP server 
ensures that all these IP addresses are unique. This automates and facilitates the unit's access to the 
network. The management of the IP address pool, in this case, is handled by the server, and not by a 
human administrator.

Move into the field and choose either Enable or Disable.

The Unit Name is fully editable. It is placed into the outgoing DHCP request and is used for registra-
tion. The Unit Name, in most cases, is only a suggestion to the DHCP server and may be updated with 
a different name upon receiving the DHCP registration reply. If an updated name is received from a 
DHCP server, the Unit Name will be adjusted to show this change and will replace the user-entered 
name. The default name is DSR640X-XXXXX. The XXXXX is the unit’s unique five-digit address.

Use the following procedure to set and view the IP address for the left Ethernet port on the back 
panel of the unit. Press the  buttons until the IP Address menu appears. Use this menu to 

enter an IP address for the Ethernet port. The address is represented in the common dotted-
decimal format. Contact the network administrator for details about configuring the Ethernet port 
for operation on your local network.

Press the 4 button until the cursor is at the IP Address label, and press ENTER to move into the 

field. Use the arrow buttons (4) to enter the desired address and then press ENTER to 

confirm the selection and exit the field.
