Ethernet Settings

  1. Go to Network > Ethernet.
  2. At the top of the page, you can see the model of Ethernet controller you are using now.
  3. You can choose to use DHCP to obtain an IP address or assign a static IP address to the CMS server.
    • Enable Obtain the IP address from a DHCP server if the network supports DHCP protocol for obtaining the IP address automatically.
    • If you want to assign a fixed IP address, enable Static IP address and enter all relevant information.
      IP address You have to enter a valid IP address.
      Subnet mask You have to enter a valid subnet mask.
      Gateway You have to enter a valid gateway if you want to access Internet; otherwise, you can only use LAN.
      DNS-1, DNS-2 Please enter at least one DNS server address if you want to use the domain name (www.example.com), instead of numerical IP address to connect to Internet.
    Note

    We suggest you to use static IP for CMS server.

CMS and NAT firewall

CMS provides many services to your PC and SMP players via TCP/UDP protocols. Therefore, you have to forward the service port into CMS IP address when you deploy CMS behind a NAT firewall and access CMS services via Internet.

Service Function Port
  • HTTP (WEB)
  • Content Update
  • Web manager
  • Client List
  • 80 (TCP)
  • FTP
  • FTP
  • 20, 21 (TCP)
  • SMB
  • Share Folder
  • 139 (TCP+UDP)
  • SMP/CMS Command
  • Client List
  • Super Monitor
  • 20000 (TCP)

Please refer to the manual of your firewall for detailed firewall settings. You can check the chapter related to Virtual Server or Port Forwarding.

For Example:

Local IP Address Protocol Port
192.168.1.2 TCP 20-21
192.168.1.2 TCP+UDP 139
192.168.1.2 TCP 80
192.168.1.2 TCP+UDP 20000
