Operating Manual U 110-C Controller

3   General introduction

3.1   Connecting the U 100-C to a PC / laptop

When the operating voltage is applied, or after insertion in the slot of the base unit, 
the U 100-C switches itself on automatically. Following a boot phase (approx. 90 seconds), 
the ASTRO logo appears in the display. The page “Network/Rack”, on which the IP addresses 
appear, is accessed by turning the control knob. If the device is connected to a PC / laptop via 
one of the network ports, and if the PC / laptop is suitably configured via the network settings, you 
can start configuring the U 100-C after you enter the IP address in the address line of the web 
browser. The IP address is 192.168.1.70 (Mgmt A) or 192.168.5.70 (Mgmt B) in delivery state.
After activating the IP address, a window appears as in the following example:

The controller status appears on the left side of the screen, with the so-called rack view appearing 
underneath it, which reflects the view of the head end. Clicking on the required module in this rack 
view allows the respective module to be configured. The links from “Log in” to “User manual” lead 
to overview pages, and to the configuration of the controller explained in the following.
The heading for the sub-item selected appears in the head line. Furthermore, the date, the time 
(UTC), the uptime, the software version and the hardware version appear here. There is the 
option of entering a name, location and contact address. This is done in the sub-menu “SNMP”.

The display in the main window corresponds to the sub-menu selected. These could be overview 
pages (status, channel overview & inventory report), or controller configuration pages, or user 
interfaces for the respective signal converter U 1xx which has been selected.
