Network

The Network page sets up the HTP-1's wired and wireless network connections.

Ethernet

The Current Settings table shows the wired connection's Hostname, IP Address, Gateway, whether the Network Cable is Connected or Disconnected, and the interface's MAC Address.

Note

Version 2.2.0 restores gigabit Ethernet operation after updating and restarting the HTP-1. Earlier releases limited the connection to 100 Mbit/s to work around a compatibility problem. If DHCP still fails, check the cable and router or switch, then try reconnecting the Ethernet cable.

Under Configuration for Wired Network, leave Use DHCP on to obtain network settings automatically.

To use a static IPv4 address, turn Use DHCP off. Enter an IP Address and Network Mask, along with the Default Gateway and DNS Server addresses required by your network. For example, the mask 255.255.255.0 appears as /24 beside the IP Address label.

Use the plus and minus buttons to add or remove address and DNS rows. Click Apply Network Settings when finished. Invalid entries produce an error message and are not sent.

Settings sent confirms that the configuration was sent; it does not confirm that the new connection is working. Changing the address may disconnect your browser. Reopen the web interface at the new address if necessary.

If no Ethernet cable is connected, this section prompts you to connect one before you can configure the wired network.

Wi-Fi

Turn on the Wi-Fi button to enable the Wi-Fi radio. Make sure the antenna that came with the unit is connected to the gold SMA antenna connector on the rear panel.

Set Country Code for Wireless Regulatory Settings to your country. This affects which Wi-Fi channels and transmit power levels the HTP-1 is allowed to use, so pick the country you're actually in.

Once connected, a Current Settings table shows the Connected Network, IP Address, Gateway, and MAC Address for the Wi-Fi interface.

Manage Wi-Fi Networks

Available Networks lists nearby Wi-Fi networks. The HTP-1 rescans automatically every five seconds while this page is open — there is no separate Scan button, and scanning stops once you navigate away.

Select a network from the list, enter its Password (turn on Show password if you want to check what you typed), and press Configure Network to add it.

Configured Networks lists networks you have already set up. Select one to enable Forget, Disconnect, and Connect for it. DHCP or static addressing for that network is set up underneath, in a Configuration for Wi-Fi Network panel identical in layout to the Ethernet one.

Dirac Live and Wi-Fi

Third-party tools like the Dirac Live calibration app may not find the HTP-1 if both network interfaces are enabled. Choose either wired or wireless for calibration.

Resetting the Network Connection

To reset the network connections, tap the Help (?) icon at the top right of the front panel, then tap Reset Network. This returns Ethernet and Wi-Fi to automatic configuration using DHCP.
