How can I configure a Static IP address for my BluOS Player?

The BluOS player requires a static IP address for custom integration system configuration.

Prerequisites

You require the following information before assigning the static IP address:

• The current IP address of the BluOS player
• The router address (Default Gateway) - Refer to the router’s user manual to identify the router address.
• The required static IP address, subnet mask, and two DNS server addresses.
  (Note: Do not use static IP addresses that fall in the DHCP server range. If required, set a DHCP reservation in the router to match each player. Refer to the router’s manual for more information.)

Configuration

To configure the static IP address for a BluOS player, perform the following steps:

1. Open a web browser that supports XML. (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox)
2. Enter the following URL in the address bar:
   

   http://current IP address/staticip

3. Toggle to disable (Off) the Automatic (DHCP).
4. Enter the required static IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, and two DNS server addresses.
5. Select Update. The browser refreshes.
6. Select Reboot to update the configuration. The player restarts with the configured static IP address.

To remove the static IP and restore DHCP addressing, perform steps 1-2, enable (On) Automatic (DHCP), and reboot the player.

IMPORTANT! If you change the router and cannot find the Player (with the previously assigned Static IP address) - you MUST factory reset the Player. All customizations, including wi-fi network configuration, file shares, and saved playlists, will be lost. You will have to re-create these once the factory reset is complete.
