The configuration is stored independently from the current hardware setup or connected states. This gives the opportunity to
detect misconfigurations and recent hardware setups can easily be restored.
To apply the complete detected hardware state into the configuration use the „auto configuration“ button after triggering a
rescan using the „ rescan hardware “ button.
To apply the detected config of just one device (controller or module) use the „apply config“ button under each single tab.
The devices information is stored with the information of „module/device config“ column. Here the line and address ID are shown
and a serial number can be entered (or applied by using auto configuration / apply). If the model of the hardware device could be
detected automatically, a model is selected in the dropdown list, otherwise it should be selected manually.
HARDWARE TYPES
Device Standalone High Voltage Power Supply
Crate Case / Bin for a modular HV-supply (module), which supplies power
Controller Special controller card used in a crate to control, monitors and manages nested modules and Crate
functions, like switch ON/OFF of Crate power supply, monitor temperatures, fans, UPS and more
Module Modular High Voltage Power Supply, plugged in a slot of a crate, supplied by a CRATE, communication
and management by CRATE CONTROLLER, no own POWER ON feature
Information in the row „module settings /device settings“ are module / device specific settings and are stored into the XML
configuration file. These settings will get lost when using auto-configuration or apply config functionality.
Ethernet configuration
The ethernet settings of the iCS server hardware (CC2x Crate Controller, iCSmini) can be changed under the ethernet tab. By
turning DHCP Client to enabled the iCS will try to obtain an IP address from the local networks DHCP server. Otherwise the IP can
be set fixed. Therefore DHCP client must be disabled and IP v4.0 settings can be entered manually.
ETHERNET FACTORY DEFAULTS
IP DHCP
GATEWAY empty
NAMESERVER empty
DNS empty
TIMESERVER empty
(Re)set / ethernet configuration
You can reset the ethernet configuration and also set to fixed IP adress e.g. cause of problems with DHCP IP relay using the
following procedure:
1. Shut down all modules/devices and turn off the iCS System by unplugging mains.
2. Create an empty file called “RESET_NET.txt” on a USB flash drive (FAT32 format)
3. Now edit the file. It should contain the following entries, separated by new lines.
CONTENT OF RESET_NET.txt
LINE PARAMETER EXAMPLE DEFAULT-VALUE
0 IP adress / DHCP 192.168.2.10 DHCP
1 NET MASK 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
2 GATEWAY 192.168.2.1 192.168.16.1
3 NAMESERVER 192.168.2.1 192.168.16.1
4. Plug USB flash drive into the USB slot at the front panel of the Crate-Controller / one USB slot of iCSmini2
5. Plug in mains
