ICE Vulcan Service Manual
Advanced Configuration
Advanced configuration is designed for situations where the group is to
be connected to a
wider area TCP/IP network and allows the use of IP
addresses instead of simple numbers to
identify the LPAs.
In order to configure the LPAs correctly you must obtain one IP address
from the IT
department for each LPA. These must be static IP addresses,
not dynamically-assigned
addresses. The 'Subnet Mask' used on the
network and port number for Master/Slave
communications is also
required.
The default port number is 3002 and in most situations it is not necessary
to change this
number.
Change it only if you are instructed to do so by the IT department.
To avoid confusion, the same port number should be used for all Slave
LPAs.
Advanced Configuration - Configuring the Slave LPAs
To configure the slave LPA, proceed as follows:

Establish communications between CLARiTY Configuration Manager
and the first Slave LPA
(“How to Connect the CLARiTY
Configuration Manager to the LPA using an RS232 connection”
