Install your HyperCaster in a Rack
B100 models do not need rails. Bolt the ears to your rack. B1000 models need rails as shown. See the hardware manual that came with your appliance for detailed instructions.
Quick Overview:
• Remove the inner rails from the outer rails. These will need to be permanently attached to the sides of the server. The inner rail sections will slide out partially, exposing small plastic levers that need to be depressed in order to fully disengage the inner rails.
• Attach the outer rails to the front of the rack.
• Extend the sliding portion of the outer rails from the rack.
• Align the inner rails of your appliance with outer rails of the rack.
• Slide your appliance into the rack until the rails click into place.
Your appliance includes rails for a standard 19” wide, 32” deep rack. If you are unable to use rails,

Plug in Power and Turn On Unit
Depending on your model, some TelVue appliances include multiple power supplies. You should plug in all power supplies for proper redundant operation.
TelVue recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Refer to included server hardware manual for safety and environmental information.
IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Your appliance will acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. This isn’t ideal for an appliance like your TelVue server may be assigned a new IP address unexpectedly, and it can be hard to determine what its current IP address is.
Static IP - You set an IP address during configuration and the appliance always uses that IP address. This is the preferred method because you always know what the IP address is. You will need an available IP address on your network, outside the DHCP range. Contact your IT department to get one.

DHCP Reservation - The reservation tells your DHCP server to give your appliance the same IP address. This lets you use the simpler DHCP setup for your appliance, while still letting it use the same IP address. Refer to your DHCP server’s documentation to set up a reservation.

Add the HyperCaster to Your Network
There are three methods to set the IP address for your appliance so you can add it to your network. Each involves making initial settings to the appliance, then logging into the web-based user interface to complete the setup. Note that out of the box, eth0 is set to DHCP, and eth1 is set to static IP 192.168.0.240/24 (255.255.255.0). Generally, eth0 should be used for control, and eth1 for video. Some models have additional eth2 and eth3 options, for either fiber or copper connections.

Method 1: LCD to Configure Networking
• Press Down and Enter on the LCD to access the menu.
• The up and down arrows can be used to select which device to configure. Once the appropriate device has been found, press Enter to continue with the configuration process.
• Select Yes by using the up and down arrows at the DHCP menu to configure the selected ethernet device automatically.
• To specify the IP address statically, select No at the DHCP menu and press Enter. Then use the left and right arrows to select the part of the IP address to modify. Use the up and down arrows to adjust its value. An underscore will appear below the part of the IP address that is being modified.
• Once a valid IP address has been entered, press Enter to accept.
• Configure the subnet mask and default gateway using the above instructions. Press Enter after each address has been configured.
Method 2: Console Login to Configure Networking
You can access and set the basic networking parameters of your TelVue HyperCaster server by connecting a keyboard and monitor to the server. All other interactions with the server must be done through the web interface after the server is integrated into your network.
• Attach a monitor and keyboard to the server.
• Login with username “config” and password “config.”
• Choose option 3 to Configure Networking and set your IP address.
• Reboot using option 6.
Method 3: Web Login to Configure Networking
Connect a network cable to eth1 and login to the web interface using the default IP:
192.168.0.240. The IP configurations can be found in the Config Tab under Server -->
Network. At the login screen enter psgadmin for both username and password.
