16.12 Discover the IP Addresses of the ATSC Tuner Modules
When the ATSC-8 is shipped from Technicolor, it will be in DHCP mode and expect to get
assigned an IP address from a router. Since our connection diagrams and common installation
practices do not include a router or DHCP server, the IP addresses may not be assigned. The
ATSC-8 will also generate an Auto-IP address such that a PC connected directly to the unit
without a router can communicate to the device.
Each ATSC-8 has 4 tuning modules containing 2 tuners each. Each Tuning module can have
two unique IP addresses, so in total, the ATSC-8 will have 8 unique IP addresses (two for each
tuning module). When first connecting to the ATSC-8 or to see what the IP addresses of the
tuners are, you can press the DISCOVER button on the bottom of the ATSC page. Figure
displays the result from a Discover inquiry. One address for each module is the Auto-IP address
assigned by the module itself, the other can be Auto-IP, static or assigned by DHCP.
