ipconfig

The ipconfig command is used to set and view the parameters that specify the networking context for the Makito X decoder, including the IP settings, hostname, and DNS.

The ipconfig command is also used to:

Configure the display of the decoder IP address during the boot sequence, so users can determine the IP address simply by examining the HDMI or SDI outputs on a display.
Enable the Multicast DNS (mDNS) protocol to allow the Safari Web browser (or other mDNS application) to automatically find the decoder. In Safari, navigate to Bookmarks and then select Bonjour to see the Makito X listed.
Set the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server address and Time Zone.

When DHCP is enabled, you can configure the DHCP Vendor Class ID (option 60), which is set by default to “Haivision Makito X Decoder”. This allows IT departments to identify Makito X devices on their networks. You must reboot for any changes to take effect.

As shown in the following example, when you enter the ipconfig configure command, the system displays the current IP settings and takes you through a series of prompts enabling you to change the IP settings, optionally enable DHCP, and change the hostname, DNS settings, NTP settings, and/or Time Zone setting.

The ipconfig display command returns the current IP settings.
