Ethernet
NovoCast NC1000 can be plugged into Ethernet via its USB-to-RJ45 cable to access local network. User can connect to organization’s backbone network. It is recommended to use Ethernet connection (when possible) since it gives you better robustness and higher performance.
When connecting to a wired network, NovoCast supports both DHCP and Static IP connection types.
- DHCP: obtains its IP address from the DHCP server on the network.
- Static IP: assigned a fixed IP address manually.
How to Set up Static IP: Plug Ethernet cable into NovoCast, use USB mouse or touch panel, go to Settings > Device Settings > General > Advanced > Ethernet > Ethernet Configuration.
