Set static IP address
Webcaster X1 for Facebook Live generally uses DHCP to acquire an IP address on your network. From time to time, you may find you need to assign Webcaster X1 a static IP address instead.
What is a static IP address?
- An IP address identifies your device on your network. It can be set in one of two ways, either dynamically allocated from your router (using DHCP) or statically set by you to a specific value.
- You may need to use a static IP address because you don't have a DHCP server, or because your device needs to be in a specific subnet on your network to have access to
- If you don't know what static IP address to use, speak with your network administrator.
To assign a static IP address you need:
- Your Webcaster X1 for Facebook Live
- An HDMI display (that supports 1080p video) connected to your Webcaster X1
- A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X1 (must be connected before boot-up)
- (OPTIONAL) a USB keyboard connected to your Webcaster X1 (must be connected before boot-up)
