INSTALLATION ORBAN Model 8400
For Ethernet connections, the 8400’s factory default IP address is 192.168.155.101. Its
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be changed by the end user with one of
the methods described below.
For connections through Serial 1 (direct cable connect, RAS null modem, and modem),
the 8400’s factory default IP address is 192.168.168.101, which cannot be changed by
the user. This address is separate from the address used for Ethernet connections.
Whether you choose to connect to 8400 with an Ethernet connection or through Serial 1,
the PC application must know which IP address to use. A special initialization file con-
tains this address. For the 8400PC control application, the initialization file is
8400.ini; for connections to make software updates, the initialization file is up-
date.ini. Both of these files are located in the same folder where each application
was installed, and can be edited with any plain ASCII text editor, such as Windows
Notepad.
If you want to connect to different 8400s using different IP addresses from the same PC,
you must edit the initialization file each time you change addresses.
You can change the IP address and subnet mask for an Ethernet connection in two ways:
1. Using the PC Remote application:
A) Edit your 8400.ini file to contain the 8400’s default IP address
(192.168.155.101). See step 4 on page 2-54.
B) Launch the Orban PC Remote application. It should connect to your 8400/PD after
requesting and receiving your passcode. If you wish to change the IP address
and/or subnet mask, you must enter a passcode with
All Screens privileges.
The default
All Screens passcode for version 2.1 is “ADMIN.” If this passcode
does not allow you to access your 8400/PD through PC Remote, someone may
have deleted it and replaced it with another
All Screens passcode. If ADMIN
does not allow you access to your 8400/PD (and you have not previously de-
leted this passcode and replaced it with another), refer to If you have forgot-
ten your “All Screens” passcode on page 2-45.
C) From the main menu, navigate to System Setup / Network Remote.
D) Enter the desired IP address and subnet mask in the appropriately named fields.
E) Quit the PC Remote application.
The IP address and subnet mask that you entered will now be accepted by the
8400/PD.
The next time you start the PC Remote application, use the new IP address and
subnet mask to communicate with your 8400/PD.
The 8400.ini file is automatically updated to reflect your changes.
