This section outlines the procedure to configure the Evertz 3025EMC with the DASDEC “RP189” which
supports EAS over Ethernet. Refer to the 3025EMC manual for details regarding EAS configuration
menus.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Connect a standard CAT-5 network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of the EAS box into a
routing hub or other network-switching device. You will likely need assistance from a network
administrator to ensure that there will not be an IP conflict as the default IP address of the
DASDEC will likely be 192.168.0.200.
2. Once the EAS box is powered up, booted and operational (status green) it can be accessed via a
web browser from any remote computer on the LAN.
3. When prompted use “Admin” (no quotes) as the default username and “dasdec” as the default
password. Click the Login button to start the web configuration session.
4. To configure the IP address of the EAS box, select Setup then Network and you will be presented
with the network configuration dialogue. The current Main NIC IP address will be shown. Make
the necessary changes to the IP address and subnet mask and then click Accept
Changes/Restart Network.
5. To add the 3025EMC as a device, select Setup then Net Alerts. Under the Configure EAS Net
Clients heading, ensure that the “Alert Forwarding to EAS_NET devices” and “Encoder
Originated Alerts Sent to EAS_NET devices” options are both checked.
