TCP/IP Reference
An Ethernet network is basically several computers (or smart equipment with a computer
inside — like the iBox or iCue) all connected together at a single point (the hub/switch) so they
can communicate with each other. In order for a message from one computer to reach the com-
puter (or iCue/iBox) it wants to talk to, all the computers connected to the network have to have
their own unique address. The address is called a TCP/IP number.
• IP Address: #3 iBox 192.168.193.001, factory default.
IP Address: #2 iBox, System — see table and following illustration.
IP Address: #1 iBox, LAN — see table and following illustration.
IP Address: iCue System port — see table and following illustration.
IP Address: iCue LAN port — see table and following illustration.
The iCue Group ID (System Configuration screen, page 6-5) must always be set to 1. (See Note
following table.) The table lists the typical addresses used for iCue elevator groups. As many as
five groups can be on a single LAN provided their Group and Car LAN addresses are all unique.
If desired, this is usually accomplished by connecting each of the Group LAN hubs to a sixth,
user-provided hub/switch. You can choose Group and Car LAN addresses. Car System
addresses are controlled by the Car ID setting. The table provides the factory recommended
addresses for each of up to five groups. Your job prints provide specific instructions as
to how all of your IP addresses are set.
* 192.168.191.101 is typically used for the iView PC.
The Group ID setting in iView determines the iCue System IP address at which iCue will accept
messages. DO NOT set the Group ID to a setting other than 1 unless instructed to do so
by MCE. The Group ID is reserved for future use. Setting it to a value other than 1 will cause
group-to-car communication to fail. If you need advanced System addressing information,
please contact MCE.
