Movie Servers

I’m getting a 169.254.x.x IP on my EPIC movie server?

The movie server may have run into an IP conflict with another device on the network.

To reset the network adapter, you’ll want to press the front power button once to initiate a graceful shutdown. Once the server has powered down, disconnect the network adapter and power on the server. Once the server has reached the cover art GUI, reconnect the network cable and navigate to the network settings using the supplied IR remote and dongle (Main Menu => Set Up => Network => Local Area Connection) and change the IP address.
