IP Interface
The IP interface section activates after the FC500IP
module is enabled in the General options screen. See
Figure 12. The IP module programming has three
sections: Options, Address book and Advanced.
Options
 DHCP: Select this option if you want to use a
dynamic address for the IP module you are
programming.
 IP static: Select this option if you want to assign a
static IP address to the IP module you are
programming and set the following parameters:
 IP address: Enter the IP address assigned to
the IP module. The network administrator
provides this information. The default setting is
192.168.0.101.
 Subnet mask: This must be the same as the
subnet mask for the local network. There is only
one valid subnet mask for each local network. All
nodes on the same subnet use the same subnet
mask. The network administrator provides this
information. The default setting is 255.255.0.0.
Ethernet speed
Use this section to set the parameters corresponding to
the Ethernet interface of the IP module. The default
selection is Auto setting.
 Auto: If you enable the option, the IP module
takes the speed and duplex values from the
network. If this option is disabled, the speed and
duplex values must be set as described below.
 Speed: If this Auto option is disabled, set the
speed value as appropriate, 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps.
 Duplex: If this auto option is disabled, set the
Data exchange, duplex mode as appropriate,
either half or full.
Read-only options
You cannot modify the values in this section. They display
information relating to the connected IP module.
 MAC address: Displays the MAC address of the
IP module; the MAC address is a unique
identification number assigned to every IP device
in the world.
 Firmware version: Displays the version of the
program running on the IP module.
 Boot version: Displays the boot version.
 Current IP address: Displays the IP address
assigned to the IP module.
General options
Use this section to select the general options for the IP
module.
 Encryption key: If this has been programmed, the
IP module uses this key to encode and decode the
packets exchanged with the computer. The
encryption key may include between 1 to 32
hexadecimal characters (numbers 1 to 9 and
letters A to F). To disable encryption, enter 0. If
the encryption key does not correspond to that of
the IP module, communication between the
computer and the IP module is not permitted. The
default setting is 0 (encryption key not enabled).
 Board port: You should use this port to
communicate with the IP module. The default
setting is 3064.
 Pass through port: You should use this port to
communicate with the control unit. The default
setting is 3062.
 Board code: You should apply this code when the
Fireclass console is used to program the IP
module, either remotely or locally. The code
should consist of four hexadecimal figures. The
default setting is 5555.
 Idle connection timeout: Enter the maximum
time period during which no data is transmitted,
before the connection terminates. The default
setting is 20 seconds.
Address book
Account code: The central station uses this account
number to distinguish between transmitters.There is one
account number programmable for the FC500IP. The
default value is 0000FFFFFF.
Note: Account codes 0000FFFFFF, FFFFFFFFFF and
0000000000 are not valid accounts.
 Supervision: To enable Supervision mode, tick this
option.
Main
 IP Address: This is a static IP address for the
receiver. Program the IP address of the central
station receiver. If an IP receiver is not connected,
program the 0.0.0.0 address. The default value is
000.000.000.000.
 Local port and remote port: These values show
the ports that communicate with the receiver. The
same receiver supplies these values. The default
values are 3060 (local port) and 3061 (remote
port).
Backup
 Receiver IP: This is the static IP address for the
second receiver. Program the IP address of the
second receiver. The default value is
000.000.000.000.
