Network Configuration - IPv4 Setup | MUSE
This video walks you through configuring IPv4 network settings on an AMX MUSE controller using both the CLI and the web interface. You’ll learn how to view and modify IP settings, switch between DHCP and static IP modes, and correctly apply changes to ensure reliable communication. We’ll also cover how to configure subnet masks and gateways so your controller integrates seamlessly into your network. By the end, you’ll have the knowledge needed to confidently manage your MUSE controller’s network connectivity.
What You’ll Learn:
• How to view and modify IPv4 settings on a MUSE controller
• Configuring network settings via CLI and web interface
• Switching between DHCP and static IP modes
• Setting subnet masks and default gateways correctly
• Applying and verifying network configuration changes
• Best practices for reliable network connectivity
Hello, and welcome to this video on configuring IPv4 settings on the MUSE controller.
There are two ways to configure IPv4 settings on the MUSE controller.
The first method is via the MUSE controller's built-in CLI. The CLI can be accessed in a number of ways. Via a terimnal connection to the USB ports on the front of the device, through an SSH connection to the device's IP address, or via the MUSE controller's webpage under the Diagnostics -> Shell menu.
Once you are connected to the CLI, you can use the network:ip command to view and set IP settings on the controller.
Typing in network:ip by itself will show you a printout of the current IP settings of the device.
Typing in network:ip with the --help option will list all of the possible configuration options and settings for the network:ip command.
For example, to change the external network port to a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway of 192.168.1.1 would require the following command line:
network:ip -e eth0 (this indicates we are configuring the external network port)
network:ip -e eth0 -m Static (this sets the port mode to static)
network:ip -e eth0 -m Static -i 192.168.1.10 (this sets the IP address)
network:ip -e eth0 -m Static -i 192.168.1.10 -s 255.255.255.0 (this sets the subnet mask)
network:ip -e eth0 -m Static -i 192.168.1.10 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.1.1 (this sets the gateway)
Press enter to confirm the command.
Once the IP has been set, you will need to reboot the controller by either pulling the power or using the reboot command in the CLI.
The second method of setting the IPv4 options on the MUSE controller is via the device's webpage. Login to the controller at its current IP address, and browse to the IPv4 settings under Network -> IPv4 Setup.
On the right-hand side of the page you can select the mode for the controller, either DHCP or Specific IP Address. In DHCP mode, most options on the page cannot be edited. If you select Specific IP Address, you can now edit all of the IPv4 options for the controller.
Once you have configured the desired communications settings for the controller, click the Accept button at the bottom right-hand side of the page. Finally, reboot the controller for the settings to be implemented.
