On all Ultimatte models except Ultimatte 12, you can enable DHCP instead of assigning
an IP address manually. DHCP is a service on network servers that finds your Ultimatte
and assigns an IP address automatically. DHCP makes it easy to connect equipment via
Ethernet and make sure their IP addresses do not conflict with each other.

Click 'save' to confirm the settings.
Repeat the same process for each main unit you want to control. The subnet mask and gateway
should match your network settings and stay the same between all units, but make sure each
unit has its own unique IP address.
Setting the IP Address for your Smart Remote 4
If you are using a Smart Remote 4 and have updated each Ultimatte main unit's IP address,
you will need to configure the IP address on Smart Remote 4 so you can control the main units
on your network.
To set the IP address on your Smart Remote 4:
1
Reveal the Windows desktop by tapping on the info icon in the Smart Remote
touchscreen information and file control section. Now tap on the 'options' settings and
tap exit to desktop.
2
Navigate to the Windows network settings.
3
In the Ethernet related settings, select 'change adapter options'.
4
Double tap on the 'Ultimatte' network to open the Ultimatte status window.
5
Tap on 'properties'.
6
In the properties window, double tap on 'internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to open
its setting properties.
7
Select the 'obtain an IP address automatically' setting to let your Smart Remote find its
own IP address to join the network you are connected to. Or if you want to enter the
IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings, select 'use the following
IP address' and set it manually.
8
Tap 'OK' to confirm the settings.
Double tap on the SR4 smart remote software icon to return to the touchscreen control panel.
Assigning Unit Numbers
Now that you are ready to control your Ultimatte main units, you need to assign them unit
numbers in the Ultimatte connection window.
To assign a number:
1
In Ultimatte Software Control, open the 'ultimatte connection' window from the top
menu bar. If you are using a Smart Remote 4, tap on a unit ID number.
2
In the ultimatte connection window click in each unit number list and select the name
of the Ultimatte that you want to allocate to that unit number.
TIP
If you are connecting to any Ultimatte 12 units, click the 'add via IP' button and
enter the Ultimatte's IP address.
