4.1. SETTING UP IP AND QLINK
The 3025EMC has an Ethernet port compatible with a 10/100/1000 Base T networking running the
TCP/IP protocol. The 3025EMC will scroll the current IP Address and Q-Link ID on the front display of
the module. The factory would likely have set the IP address to a default address of 192.168.0.200 and
a default QLINK address of 0x0 (in HEX). Otherwise, it would have been set according to pre-
commissioning information that was provided to the factory prior to shipment.
To change the IP address, use the serial port. On the main EMC-Setup window, choose Options->
Communications. Set the communication to serial port. Choose the PC COM port you will connect a
serial cable to. Set the following comm port settings:
Table 4-1: Serial Comm Port Settings
Connect a straight through D9 serial cable with a rainbow cable (WA-S76 provided with packaging) and
connect to the header on the front of the unit (marked J11 Upgrade).
From the main EMC-Setup window, select System -> Comms Window and check that you can get an
Acknowledgment back (.A) from the EMC when you hit the Acknowledge button. Type the following in
the window:
.#98,N
This will return the current IP Address settings similar to below:
.A,Mac Address = 0:2:C5:11:0:30
.A,IP Address = 192.168.9.143
.A,TCP/IP Netmask = 255.255.255.0
.A,TCP/IP Gateway = 0.0.0.0
.A,Mac Address 2 = 00:02:C5:11:00:31
.A,IP Address 2 = 0.0.0.0
.A,TCP/IP Netmask 2 = 255.255.255.0
.A,TCP/IP Gateway 2 = 0.0.0.0
These are the current IP settings for IP 1 (marked ETHA on the rearplate) and IP 2 (marked ETHB on the
rearplate). ETHB might not currently be connected on your 3025EMC if a previous version of system
firmware was installed that did not support Dual Ethernet operation. IP Address 2 being set to “0.0.0.0”
means that ETHB is currently not enabled.
To set the IP addresses of the 3025EMC, from the main screen of the EMC-Setup application software
select MIXER CHANNELS and when prompted select NEW then select EMC3025 as the Channel’s
Frame Type.
The software will now add a 3025EMC Mixer Channel to the configuration. At this point select OK twice
to return to the main configuration window.
