IPCP Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 16
L
LAN (IP) connectors and LEDs — To connect the IPCP to an Ethernet network
(so you can configure and control the IPCP and the devices connected to it), plug a
cable into one of these LAN RJ-45 sockets and connect the other end of the cable to a
network switch, hub, router, or PC connected to a LAN or the Internet. If the IPCP has
more than one LAN port, the rest of the LAN ports function as simple network switches
(a multiport, unmanaged switch), so that you can connect additional devices to the
same network. For details of communication protocols, ports, and services used, see
Network Port Requirements on page32.
Cabling:
• For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a CAT 3 or better cable.
• For 100Base-T (max. 155 Mbps) or 1000Base-T networks, use a CAT 5 or better cable.
You must configure these ports before using them. Configure the settings via Global
Configurator. See Software-Based Configuration and Control starting on
page25 of this guide for basic information on configuration.
Activity LED (connector and front panel) — This yellow LED blinks to indicate network
activity.
Link LED (connector and front panel) — This green LED lights to indicate a good
network connection.
1000 LED (front panel) — This green LED lights when the unit is connected to a gigabit
network connection.

• Use a straight-through cable for connection to a switch, hub, or router.
• Use a crossover cable or a straight-through cable for connection directly to a
PC. Wire the connector as shown in the tables above.

Need info on how to differentiate public and
private LAN ports, and what the default
addresses and settings are for each one.
The following addresses apply to control
processors.
For single NIC models...
192.168.254.250 = primary/public NIC
For dual NIC models:
192.168.254.250 = primary/public NIC
192.168.253.250 = secondary/private NIC
Per John Spencer, 01/08/14, “the primary
NIC on both the host AV product and the
integrated control module must reside on the
same subnet. The primary NIC on both the
host AV product and the integrated control
module must have unique IP addresses. For
individual products with multiple NICs, each
NIC should reside on a different subnet.”
TouchLink Touchpanels will have the following
default IP address: 192.168.254.251
Keep the “IPCP LAN port
defaults” text set to “no
color” (to use as an invisible
text/hyperlink marker).
NOTE: For LAN ports, DHCP is off by default.
