DHCP
HyperDeck Extreme disk recorders arrive set to DHCP by default. The dynamic host
configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that automatically finds
your HyperDeck Extreme and assigns an IP address. The DHCP is a great service that makes
it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP addresses do not conflict with
each other. Most computers and network switchers support DHCP.
Static IP
When 'static ip' is selected, you can enter your network details manually. When setting IP
addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the same subnet mask
and gateway settings. In addition, the first three fields of numbers in the panel's IP address
also need to match. If there are other devices on the network that have the same identifying
number in their IP address, there will be a conflict and the units won't connect. If you
encounter a conflict, simply change the identifying number in the unit's IP address.
Network Access
HyperDeck Extreme HDR can be accessed via a network for file transfer and remote control
via HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol. Access will be enabled by default, but you can choose to
disable access individually or enable access via a username and password for added security
when using the web media manager or HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol.
File Transfer Protocol
Enable or disable access via FTP using the check box. If you are supplying access via an FTP
client such as CyberDuck, click the icon to copy the FTP address. For more information, refer to
the section 'transferring files over a network'.
Web Media Manager
Media recorded on CFast cards or external disks can be accessed via a web browser using the
web media manager. When using a self signed certificate, click on the link or copy and paste
it into your web browser, a simple interface will open where you can upload or download files
directly to the CFast cards over your network. When using a signed certificate, use the domain
name used in the signing request. More information on signing requests is available in the
'secure certificate settings' section.
If you select 'enabled with security only', the secure login settings are required. For more
information on the web media manager view, refer to the 'transferring files over a network'
section in this manual.
