Configuring the Control Module for the Network
IP Address DHCP
The IP address is preset for systems that are not on the network. To directly connect to the control module over
Ethernet, use any internet browser and placee the IP address or control module name in the navigation bar.
If the MCS is not used, DHCP will allocate an IP address when the system is connected to the network.
This field can be statically set through the MCS, but it will be dynamically allocated when MCS is not used.
NETBIOS Support
The system supports NETBIOS and advertises its Hostname as QtXX, where XX is the last two digits of the
MAC address
Other Recommended Connections
Access to an SMTP server enables the sending of error notification emails.
Access to an SNTP server obtains the SNTP time stamp. If the SNTP server is enabled, the real-time clock
feature is disabled. A time server other than the default time server may be specified in the Administration
section under date and time
Suggestions for Managing Multiple Control Modules
Browser bookmarks are a convenient tool for managing multiple control modules. A bookmark add-on stores
bookmarks on a web server and allows access from any computer on the LAN.
Create a “Sound Masking” folder (under Bookmarks) to hold a bookmark for each control module.
Use location-based names for each module’s bookmark. To access a specific control module, open
Bookmarks>SoundMasking, and select the specific module bookmark.
Front Panel Control
The front panel is used for configuring basic functionality and initial system test. For advanced system
configuration, the MCS is required. Once the MCS is used to configure the system, it should be used
exclusively. Otherwise, using the front panel will erase the settings configured by the MCS.
System Information
Initial display of the front panel, shown below, shows the software version and system status.
The VERSION X.X.X indicates the following fields: major release; minor changes; bug fixes. The HxBx format
is to identify the version of the internal code and, on rare occasions, used as reference for technical support.
Status indicates if there are errors (see Error Codes and Clear Error on page 32) or if the system is OK.
The MAC address is displayed for reference when the system is on the network. The network administrator will
need this when configuring a network connection.
VERSION X.X.X
Status: OK HxBx
