# Network Configuration

## Setting IP Addresses

The **IP** section of the **System Menu** contains the fields and controls necessary to set up networking for both the Control port and the AES67 port. The controls for both ports are identical.

The **Active indicator** (B) lights green for when the ports are active.

To make changes to the settings, click on the **Edit button** (D), which is immediately replaced with **Cancel** and **Apply** buttons.

DHCP is enabled by default on the Control port. Toggle the **Use DHCP switch** (A) to turn DHCP on or off. When DHCP is disabled, you may set a static IP address by entering the appropriate values into the **IP address**, **Net Mask**, and **Gateway** fields (C).

Click **Cancel** to discard any changes or **Apply** to save them.

> [!NOTE]
> **Important!** Both the Control and AES67 connections must be connected to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) switch ports. If a port will not be used, **it should not** be connected to a switch but **does** require a specific configuration described below. If both the Control and AES67 ports are used**, each must be on a different subnet**.

If either of the two Ethernet ports will not be used, the unused port must be configured as follows:

- **Do not connect the unused port to a network switch**
- Using the steps above for Control port setup, navigate to the IP Configuration screen of the unused port
- Set “Use DHCP” to “Yes”
- Highlight and select “Update”

Network configuration can also be accomplished via the front panel as outlined in the [Quick Start Guide](/v1/docs/sdi-aoip-node-quick-start-guide#setting-ip-addresses).

## Sync, QoS, and PTP Settings

As previously mentioned, when the SDI AoIP Node is set up to use AES67 audio at its input, output, or both, it **must** slave to an external PTP clock for reference.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Additional PTP-related settings are included but grayed out and reserved for future use.

The **Slave Only button** (A) must be enabled and the Domain Number must be set for the correct PTP domain. Valid values are 0 - 127. The AES67 PTP profile uses 0; the SMPTE PTP profile uses 127.
