Ross Acuity 4810AR-002 - Network Setup; Frame Network Setup; Control Panel Network Setup

Network Setup
If the frame is using the default network settings, the
control panel will automatically detect the frame on
power up. No network setup is required. Once connected,
you can change the network settings of each control
panel. You must restart the switcher each time you want
to apply different network settings.
You can connect up to nine control panels to a single
frame. In either a single panel or MultiPanel
conguration, you must congure a master panel. Once
the master panel is congured, up to eight satellite panels
can be congured.
Frame Network Setup
From the frame web interface, you can set up the IP
Address of the frame, as well as selecting the IP addresses
of all the control panels, and SoftPanel, that can access
the frame.
To Set the Frame Network Settings
Tip: If you do not know the IP address of the frame, you can
set the IP address to the default. Refer to Default Network
Settings on page 16.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address
of the switcher frame. You are prompted to enter a
user name and password. The defaults are user and
password.
2. Click Other... > Network.
This page allows you to change the network
conguration of the frame network ports, as well as
enter the current IP Address of the master panel, and
satellite panels.
3. In the LAN1 section, enter the IP Address and
Network Mask for the frame.
This is the IP address that you will connect to from
the control panel(s).
4. Optional: Set an IP address and network mask for
the LAN2 port if required.
By default, the LAN2 port is turned off. You can
use the LAN2 port to connect to an external device
or graphics suite.
5. Optional: Enter the Default Gateway for the frame.
6. Click Change and Reboot.
The switcher restarts with the new network settings.
Control Panel Network Setup
To congure the network settings of the control panel,
you must have the IP address for both the frame that you
want to connect to, and each of the control panels. If you
are not connecting any satellite panels to your switcher,
only congure the master panel.
To Set the Panel Network Settings
Note: The control panel and frame must be on the same subnet
to communicate properly.
Note: The Acuity Rack Panel ships in DHCP mode by default.
The IP address that it has been assigned by your network is
shown on the diagnostic display on the front of the server.
1. Press HOME three times to place the control panel
in diagnostic mode.
2. Press HOME > Setup > Network Setup >
Configure Frame/Panel IPs.
Tip: Set Defaults on (On) to set the control panel to the
default IP address and to look for the frame at the default
IP address of the frame.

frame using a keyboard or the keypad on the Global
Memory module.
4. In the Panel area, enter the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway of the control panel using a
keyboard of the keypad on the Global Memory

the master panel in a MultiPanel setup, or the

setup.
