Menu

The server Menu is typically used to change network and video settings, update server software, and reset the system to the default settings.  Many of the same options are available on the web server under Settings.  Most importantly, it is necessary to use the LCD or video out menu to determine what IP address the server has been assigned.  To display the Menu, press the MENU button on the ReQuest 64 button remote.

NetSync
 The NetSync menu allows the user to stop or start a NetSync between two ReQuest servers. These actions are only applicable to servers that are configured to be a "NetSync Client".
Network  The Network menu is where the network settings for the ReQuest server can be viewed/changed. By default, the ReQuest server is set to use DHCP, where it will automatically obtain an IP address from the network (as long as the network supports DHCP). A static IP address can also be assigned to the server.
