    IP address assigning to TM super

    in the Main Menu with the remote cursor:
    Select System Settings:


    Select the IP settings


    In the IP Settings menu:
    select the DHCP usage:


    and switch it on:


    press the red button to scan for IP address:


    or do it all manualy:


    there could be an issue working with TM-6900 HD super in certain IP ranges (home network) if this is the case check this one out:
    IP address issues with TM-6900 <= click here

    Remarks:
    IP address should be in the same range used by your homenetwork
    Subnetmask should be the same for all in the same segment
    Gateway and DNS should be the address for the router, the router should provide these services
    If you use DHCP the router should be set to do so.
    Once you have the details obtained with DHCP, put these in manualy: this avoids changing the details for the devices. If you set manualy, you should do this for all the devices in your home network, avoiding another device taking an static IP address (reserved for a device)

    more info on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (in verry short: automated assigning of IP addresses) can be found here:
    Code:

    Subnet Mask

    It is good practice to use the same Subnet Mask as used by the gateway/router.
    Code:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet_mask
    this is not a must in the same segment.

    Once again Giga thanks for an excellent tutorial, which is spot on.

    However I have personally found that whilst technically the wireless file transfer works ok. The files you might want to transfer (recorded programs) are so large that I found this method impractical, as the transfer takes so long.

    have everything wired up here and have some spare bandwidth: 100 mbps for the TM 6900 HD super on a 1 gbps home network.

    Can't get STBDaemon to work - Network not ready

    I followed the Guide and set IP addresses on Technomate and my laptop. Can ping the Technomate from the laptop OK. Checked it appears corrrectly on router too. Added IP in USB settings. However, I can't browse to the laptop with STBDaemon running from the TM - just get endles Network Not Ready errors.

    I'm using a TM 7102, maybe it doesn't work with this latest model?

    Its more than a year since I looked at this but from memory I don't think you CAN browse files on your laptop. I think that you select the relevant files on the TM from a window on the stb and then send them to the ip address of the laptop.

    Network acess to Recordings

    Thanks for the reply, Joany.

    Re-reading my post, perhaps I didn't express myself clearly... I am not trying to browse files from the laptop but move/copy them to the laptop folder referenced by the STB Daemon across the network connection from the TM.

    I use the USB menu File Manager on the TM, can see the IP connection I set up (but can't see any files within that drive as I get the error message). If I select a recording (on the internal HDD on the TM) and choose copy, when I then try to paste it to the network drive being served by the STB Daemon, I get the 'Not ready message'.

    This makes me think the STB Daemon which appears to be running actively on the laptop, is not reachable or readable by the TM network connection.
