Note: Your computer should have a static IP address on the same subnet as the
IBUC1+1. Using a suitable cable, connect the computer to the IBUC1+1 J3 connector.
Note: If an Ethernet hub is not used to connect to the IBUC1+1, then a crossover cable
must be used. An Ethernet hub will function with a straight connect cable. Please see
the attached drawing.
Telnet:
On the host computer activate a command prompt window. Enter Telnet 192.168.1.21
for the A IBUC or Telnet 192.168.1.22 for the B IBUC and a cursor should appear on
the left of the screen. Type the password command, CPE=1234, and the response will
be IBUC>_. Commands may now be entered to access the IBUC functionality. (Please
see Operation Manual, Section 6).
Web Server:
On the host computer activate a web browser window. In the address window type
HTTP://192.168.1.21 and press enter. Within a few seconds you should see the login
screen. On the login screen, enter 1234 in the login box and press the Login button.
You will now see the A IBUC on the left side of the browser window and the B IBUC on
the right side of the browser window. You will be taken to the Alarm Status page on both
IBUCs where you can select from the following web pages:
• Alarm Status
• Transmit Status
• Transmit Config
• Redundant Config
• Interface Config
• System Config
The “Status” pages enable monitoring of various IBUC parameters. Alarms are color
coded with green indicating OK, orange as a warning, and red as an alarm condition.
The “Configuration” pages provide access for changing factory default settings to suit
specific site or network requirements. Settings take effect when you press the “Update”
button. Note that some changes in configuration will cause a loss of communication with
the host computer. It will then be necessary to make the corresponding change in the
host computer. For an example, here are instructions on changing a unit’s IP address
(using the default settings):
Navigate to the “Interface Config” page
Change the IP address to something other than 192.168.1.21 (the factory default)
Press “Update”.
Note that IP address changes take effect immediately.
