Device |
The Device's (Cloud instance, virtual machine, or a physical server) name. |
Mode |
Static IP or DHCP. |
IP Address |
For a Static IP Mode, input the IP Address according to local network configuration. For a DHCP Mode, the IP Address will be set automatically by the DHCP server. |

IGMP Version |
IGMP version settings: Auto mode is recommended; however, certain network environments may require other IGMP versions. |
Stacking Multicast |
When checked (), the device can communicate with other MCM-9000 devices, when in Stack mode, through the selected network interface, and UDP multicast must be allowed on this network. |
Video Bridge |
When checked (), the NIC will send the streams in TCP mode to the displaying systems (CED) in stacking mode. |
Stacking Multicast TTL |
TTL (Time To Live) for the management of multicast communication. |
MTU |
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) specifies the largest packet size that can be sent over a network connection. The standard default value is 1500 bytes. |
Note: If the Network Configuration is incorrect, the device's connection (and the device configuration) is no longer available. Please refer to Recover Network Configuration for more details.
