Manual Configuration of a MusicCAST Network
There may be a case you need to assign a fixed IP address to the MCX-2000 and clients to
integrate a MusicCAST network into a PC network that has no DHCP serverM You can solve it
by
manually configure some or all of network parameters of the MCX-2000 and clients. We explain
here several points you should remember when configuring a MusicCAST network manually.
Configuration example:

• DNS server (name server IP address; at least one DNS server is necessary to specify an NTP server (page 91) \lJlth its domain name for
retrieving accurate time for the MCX-2000 date and time settings)
