Ethernet and Internet Considerations
The iBox supports three Ethernet connections:
• The 3 = PC port is for direct local connection of a laptop or desktop PC for elevator control
configuration, program uploading, system diagnosis, or parameter adjustment using MCE
iView software. Fixed IP address: 192.168.193.001
• For multi-car, centrally dispatched installations, the 2 = SYSTEM port provides dedicated,
fast 100 Base-TX connection between iBoxes. In these installations, the required Ethernet
hub is provided by MCE and mounted in the iCentral cabinet. See the table below for the
factory default.
• The 1= LAN port allows the elevator controller to be connected to a 10/100 Base-TX Local
Area Network (if available). This allows a single PC to be used to administer and monitor
multiple elevator controllers using iView software. See the table below for the factory
default address for this port.
Through a net modem, ISDN, DSL or other internet access, this port may provide remote
access to the controller. This access allows MCE technical support staff to view controller
parameters at the same time you view them through your LAN or direct/local connection.
Elevator parameters are protected from meddling or accidental change because in order to
write data to a controller, permission must be granted in the machine room.
For installations not requiring a central dispatching capability or for single car installations,
Ethernet or internet connectivity may not be required.
If you want to take advantage of Ethernet or internet connectivity benefits, the machine room
must be appropriately wired. Most commercial buildings use Ethernet Local Area Networks
that can readily be extended to accommodate machine room access.
*192.168.191.101 is typically used for the iView PC.
