Using the Ethernet Port
(Model 1601 Se only)
To further enhance the flexibility
of the Architect amplifier, the Model
1601 SE adds a built-in web server.
The server connects to the outside
world using a 10BaseT Ethernet LAN
port and the TCP/IP network protocol.
This network connection serves two
purposes: With it’s built-in web server,
you can access the Architect with any
standard web browser to check on the
amplifiers status and do some simple
controls. This interface is also used to
configure the network interface of the
Architect. The second protocol on the
network connection is a Telnet server.
This is primarily used for integration
with whole-house audio control systems (see Appendix Bfor more
details on this protocol). Now let’s see how to use this interface.
To initially setup the Architect amplifier and configure the net
-
work interface you will need:
• A computer with a 10BaseT Ethernet network adapter
• If you have an ethernet
hub - A standard Ethernet
cable
Or
• If you
don’t
have a hub
– A
Crossover
Ethernet cable
Once you have connected
the computer and the Architect
together through the network,
open your web browser soft-
ware (Explorer, Navigator,
Firefox, whatever you like)
and enter the following ad-
dress into your browser:
http://192.168.0.1
You should now see the
Main Operation web page of
the Architect.

Basic Network Setup
Important Note:
If you
have several Architects in
your system. Only connect one
at a time to the network until you
have changed their IP addresses.
From the factory the default IP
address is 192.168.0.1. On a TCP/IP
network, each device MUST have a
unique address.
