Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Setting the IP Addresses of Multiple Units
If you have multiple X75HD systems that require network
configuration, you will need to set unique IP addresses and assign a
subnet mask and gateway address for each of them one at a time. The
following procedure summarizes the required steps:
1. Apply power (plug in) the first X75HD unit with a frame-mounted
local control panel (LCP).
When ready for configuration, the main X75HD menu shows on the
display screen.
2. Configure the network settings for this unit, as described in the
procedure on page 71.
This includes setting an IP address to uniquely identify the unit, and
setting the subnet mask and gateway addresses.
3. Restart the X75HD unit.
4. Apply power to the next X75HD system, configure its network
information, and then restart the unit.
Follow this procedure for all remaining X75HD units that require
configuration.
5. If you will be using a remote panel (RCP), configure the RCP’s
network settings (such as the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address) in the same way as you would for an X75HD system.
See “Remotely Controlling X75HD Systems” on page 73 for more
information on RCP configuration.
6. Connect all X75HD systems and remote panels to a network hub or
switch using a 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
7. Ensure that all configured X75HD units are detected on the
network.
To do this, press Remote on the front panel of either an RCP or a
frame-mounted local control panel (LCP). All units configured with
the same subnet mask address will display (you will see a list of all
detected IP addresses).
If a unit or RCP is not detected, ensure that the subnet mask address
is accurate. Alternatively, confirm that all units were restarted after
configuring any network settings.
Note
If configured to be on the same
network, the following items
will be detected: X75HD
systems, RCP-X75 panels, and
any DPS-575 systems.
