Network Connection

MultiTuner ships with a static IP address of 192.168.112.1. There are two ways to connect it to your network.

Connect MultiTuner to a LAN switch with a standard Ethernet cable. Ensure the server or workstation that will access the web interface is on the same subnet (192.168.112.0/24), or that routing between subnets is in place.

This is the preferred topology for production deployments. No additional configuration is required on the server side.

Option B: Direct Connection to a Server

Connect MultiTuner directly to a server or workstation NIC using an Ethernet cable. Modern NICs support auto-MDI/MDIX, so a crossover cable is not needed.

Because there is no DHCP server in a direct-connection setup, you must assign a static IP address on the server's network adapter within the 192.168.112.0/24 range.

Configuring a Static IP on Windows

  1. Open Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings

    Network adapter list

  2. Right-click the adapter connected to MultiTuner and select Properties

    Adapter properties

  3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties

    IPv4 properties

  4. Select Use the following IP address and enter a static address in the 192.168.112.0/24 range:

    IP address configuration

    Field Example Value
    IP address 192.168.112.100
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway (leave blank)

  5. Click OK to apply. The adapter will use the new address immediately — no reboot is required.

Changing the Device IP Address

The device IP address can be changed from within the web interface under System Settings. After saving the new address, the device becomes unreachable at the old one — update your browser URL and any monitoring software accordingly.

Note

If the device IP is changed to an address outside the current subnet, ensure the server's network adapter is reconfigured to match before saving, or you will lose access to the web interface.
