Please examine your ESS-1 carefully for any damage that may have been sustained
during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and retain
the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package should contain the ESS-1,
this manual, 7 foot CAT 5 straight-through cable and the 9 VDC @ 1 amp wall trans-
former.

he Quick Start Setup Guide is supplied with some common application examples. If
more in-depth information is needed, please refer to our Advanced Configuration

http://www.broadcasttools.com/
NOTE:
DHCP and Auto IP are enabled with the IP Address set at 0.0.0.0 by default.
If you are not familiar with Ethernet enabled equipment, it may be useful to contact
your IT department, network administrator or outside network consultant.
Information you’ll need to know
1 - An available Static IP address to assign to the ESS-1.
2 - Your network’s subnet mask.
3 - Your network’s gateway address.
4 -The data port number. The factory default setting for channel/port-1 is 10001.
5 - Email setup information if applicable.
The ESS-1’s RJ-45 (Ethernet) is normally attached to a DSL/Cable router, Ethernet hub
or switch. The supplied “Device Installer” software should be used to locate and con-
figure your ESS-1. The “Device Installer” software is available on the supplied CD or
for download from our web site, http://www.broadcasttools.com/ under “Downloads”.
1 - Install the “Device Installer” software on the PC used for the ESS-1 setup.
2 - Connect the supplied straight-through CAT 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on
the ESS-1 labeled Ethernet and the other end to your hub, switch or router.
NOTE: If you are attaching the ESS-1 directly to your computer, you MUST
use a XOVER CAT 5 cable.
3 - Connect the supplied 9 VDC power supply to the ESS-1 power jack. Verify that
the power led and left “LINK” led above the RJ-45 is lit.
CAUTION!
Installation of the ESS-
1 in high RF environ-
ments should be per-
formed with care.
Shielded cable is sug-
gested for all control
connections. All
shields and the station
ground should be con-
nected to either of the
screws on the DB-9
connector. For light-
ning protection devices,

Assigning an IP address
already in use by another
device may cause prob-
lems with your network!
