PRELIMINARY Ethernet Configuration and Control 4-2 The IPL T PC1 must be configured before use in order for it to control other devices. In addition to using the button on the PC1 front panel, you can configure and control the PC1 via any computer attached to a LAN. The default PC1 embedded Web pages provide a means of setting up, adjusting, and controlling via a Web browser from any type of network-enabled computer. An alternative way to control and configure the PC1 from your computer is by using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via Telnet. SIS commands are discussed in detail in chapter 5, “SIS Programming and Control.” Global Configurator (GC2.3) software enables you to configure and control the PC1 as well as set up output device monitoring and scheduling. Refer to the IPL T PC1 Setup Guide, provided with your PC1. Configuring the Hardware for Ethernet Control To enable Ethernet control, both the PC and the PC1 must be configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable with the proper protocols, and the PC1 must be set up so it can be connected to a LAN (local area network). Please note that some settings can be configured only via Internet protocol. For your PC to communicate with the PC1 via Ethernet, it must have a Windowsbased (Windows NT, 2000, XP, or higher) operating system and be equipped with an network interface card. To allow your PC to work with Extron’s Ethernetcontrolled products, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and properly configured. Setting up and configuring the PC1 using ARP The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command provides a quick way to set up an IP address for the PC1, using your PC. The ARP commands tell your computer to associate the PC1’s Media Access Control (MAC) address with an IP address that you assign. 1. Obtain a valid IP address for your PC1 from your network administrator. 2. Obtain the PC1’s MAC address (UID#) from the label on the PC1’s rear panel. The MAC address should have the following format: 00-05-A6-nn-nn-nn 3. If the PC1 has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, skip to step 4. If not, perform a mode 4 system reset to restore the factory-set values. (See chapter 3, “Front Panel Features and Operations,”“Resetting” section, for the resetting procedure.) CAUTION IPL T PC1 Ethernet Configuration and Control The PC1 must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before you execute the ARP command, as described below. 4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS command prompt as follows: a. From your Windows desktop Start menu, select Run... . b. On the Run window, enter cmd. The MS DOS command window opens. 5. At the DOS prompt enter arp -s, the desired new IP address for the PC1, a space, and finally the PC1’s MAC address (taken from the label on the rear panel). For example: arp -s 10.13.197.57 00-05-A6-01-33-0D A space must follow arp (i.e., precede the hyphen [-].)
ARP-S command screen 6. Execute a ping command by entering “ping,” followed by the new IP address, at the command prompt. Example: Ping is a utility or diagnostic tool that tests network connections. It is used to determine if the host has an operating connection and is able to exchange information with another host. ping 10.13.197.57 The response should be the PC1’s new IP address, as shown below. Ping command on Command Prompt screen 7. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, issue the arp -d command at the DOS prompt to remove the address from the computer’s ARP table. For example: arp -d 10.13.197.57 A space must follow arp (i.e., precede the hyphen [-]. IPL T PC1 Ethernet Configuration and Control 4-3 PRELIMINARY
