Room Alert 26W
Utility will attempt to discover the Room Alert 26W unit connected to your network by sending out a
UDP broadcast on UDP port 30718.
NOTE: If there are multiple Ethernet adapters on the computer that the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility is installed on, a dialog
will display asking for the proper network to perform the search on. Make the correct selection and then continue.
The Room Alert 26W unit is initially set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. If you do not
have DHCP on your network, please see the ‘Static-Only Networks’ section below.
The Room Alert 26W unit connected to your network should appear in the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility
window as illustrated above. This will normally take just a few seconds. If the IP address displayed is ‘169.xxx.
xxx.xxx’ and the ‘Name’ is displayed as ‘Unknown’ or if the Room Alert 26W unit was not found, please see
the ‘Device Not Found Or Invalid IP Address’ subsection below before continuing.
Once the desired Room Alert 26W unit is displayed, select it from the list to perform an action on it.
Selecting multiple units will cause the action selected to be performed on multiple units (i.e. all selected
units) simultaneously.
The
‘Set IP’
button is used to assign a static IP address, gateway IP address, subnet mask
and DNS server IP address or to set the Room Alert 26W unit back to DHCP (0.0.0.0). If
the ‘Set IP’ button is pressed without a specific Room Alert 26W unit selected in the
AVTECH Device Discovery Utility, a prompt will display asking for the MAC address of the unit. This
option can be used in conjunction with the MAC address listed on the bottom of the Room Alert 26W
unit to attempt IP address assignment of a unit that cannot be located or has previously been obtained or
assigned an incorrect IP address.
The
‘Settings’
button opens the default web browser and displays the ‘Settings’ screen of the
Room Alert 26W web interface. The ‘Settings’ screen allows for further configuration of the
Room Alert 26W unit and is where alerts, email, SNMP and other settings are configured.
