CONFIGURATION
Here are the steps to configure each device included into the network:
• start the CS9500 Configurator program;
• create or open an existing plant configuration;
• click on Devices and select Server Encoder #00000;
• click on Properties, then select the M305 Hardware Type and the Ethernet Connection Box;
• type the device IP address (if integrating into an existing LAN network, a dedicated range of IP
addresses must be reserved). Check that the Subnet Mask matches as well, then start download;
• for the Mirror, select the proper Hardware Type and start download (it will use the same IP address
as the server). The connection between Server and Mirror must be through a CISA Network Cable;
• for Special Locks, select the proper Hardware Type and Ethernet settings, then start download;
• for Wireless Control Units, select the proper Ethernet settings and start download. A different IP
address must be used for each Special Lock or Wireless Control Unit.
