Select the Hardware tab and enter serial
port settings that match that of the 3rd
party controller and click APPLY. Common
settings are:
• Serial Interface: EIA-232
• Speed: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: Odd
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
If a backup controller serial connection
is being used, repeat the above for serial
port 2.
Select the General tab for serial port 1.
Check CONNECT TO, and select the
primary Calrec card from the Host drop-
down list (as was previously defined from
the Network>Advanced page). Enter a
TCP Port number to match the protocol
being setup (61000 for SW-P-08, 62000
for EMBER. The CSCP port is selectable,
as defined by Calrec StudioSetup, the
default value being 49200).
Mainconfiguration-WebManager
Once the Perle unit IP addresses are
known, the main configuration can be
carried out.
Connect an Ethernet cable from a PC
Ethernet port to one of the two Ethernet
ports on the rear of the Perle unit.
Configure the network connection of
the PC to be in a compatible IP address
range with the Perle unit. Launch a web
browser on the PC and enter the IP
address of the Perle unit’s port 1 into the
browsers address field to bring up the
Perle Web Manager application. Enter
username:
admin
and password:
superuser
to log in.
Select the Configuration>Network>IP
Address/IP Settings page, either from the
tree on the left, or the selection buttons
in the main screen (screenshot shown
overleaf). The addresses of both Perle
ports are shown on the IPv4 settings
page. If required, the subnet mask for
each port can be changed, and also the
IP addresses themselves can be changed.
Click APPLY if any changes are made.
Note, Web Manager page changes can
be slow and do not always fully display
the content. If content is missing, change
away from the page and back, rather
than just refreshing. Check the browser’s
progress bar to see when pages have
finished loading.
Select the Network>Advanced page (Not
Network>IP Address>Advanced). Click
ADD to add a new host to the host table.
Enter a name, eg ‘Calrec-Primary’ and
the IP address (or alternate, aliased IP
address) of the primary Calrec card that
the Perle will connect to. Repeat to add
the secondary Calrec card as another
host. Click APPLY to save the changes.
Select the Serial>Serial Port page. Select
port 1 and click EDIT to view the details
for the serial port. At the top of the page,
below the port label, click CHANGE
to select the TCP sockets profile, click
APPLY and then return to Serial 1.
Select ‘Initiate Connection Automatically’,
and check ‘Send Name On Connect’.
If Ethernet cable and port redundancy
is required from a single serial port
controller, check ‘Connect To Multiple
Hosts’, then click
DEFINE ADDITIONAL HOSTS. Click
ADD and select the Calrec secondary
card from the Host list, and enter the TCP
port number required for the protocol
being used. Click OK. Ensure that ‘Define
Primary and Backup Hosts to Connect to’
is NOT selected, and then click APPLY.
If there is a backup 3rd party controller
serial connection, do not select serial port
1 to connect to multiple hosts. Instead,
Configure serial port 2 to connect to the
Calrec secondary card.
Once completed, click Reboot IOLAN
or cycle the power to the unit for the
configuration changes to take effect.
