Connection via IP Modules (PRO E-IPM)
14.8.1
Summary
IP modules allow you to connect PIR detectors via the local network, instead of via an RS-485 bus. The modules
convert the signals from network to RS-485. They are powered via PoE.
You need to set up the IP modules so that they can communicate with the XO device: assign an IP address, and
specify the correct communication settings. For this, you will use the Lantronix DeviceInstaller program.
Honeywell recommends to use IP addresses in the same range as the local network of the XO device (eth0; not
in eth1 which is the range of the IP camera network).
After the configuration, you can connect the IP modules to the PIR detectors, and finally add the IP modules to
the XO client.
14.8.2
Setting up the IP Modules
The IP modules only work with the XO client software if they have a static IP address and use the UDP
communication protocol. Furthermore, you must set up the serial ports of the IP modules.
To set up the IP modules, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the IP modules to the network, and make sure that your PC is in the same network.
2.
Download and install the Lantronix DeviceInstaller program (available from
www.lantronix.com/products/deviceinstaller
).
3.
Launch DeviceInstaller. It automatically starts searching for the IP modules (xPico devices) on the network.
If the search does not start automatically, click
Search
.
4.
To configure a module, double-click it in the list.
