Indigo ‘About’ page 

The above example shows that the frame is equipped with IndigoSNMP software 
version 4.6, build version 9259. Crystal Vision may ask you to provide this 
information if there is a problem. Note that only frames fitted with IndigoSNMP 
software are capable of supporting an SNMP interface. An SNMP enabled 
Crystal Vision frame supports SNMP, ASCII and HTTP/JSON control protocols. A 
non-SNMP enabled frame supports ASCII and HTTP/JSON control protocols. 
Contact Crystal Vision customer support for protocol details. 

Network Setup 

From the Setup home page, clicking on the Network Setup link will bring up the 
Network Setup page. If the installation includes more than one Indigo frame then 
the IP address will need changing as all frames need a unique IP address. Enter 
the new IP address in the 

ipaddrr

 edit box and click on ‘Set’. In the example 

below, the IP address will be changed to 10.0.0.203 from its default value. 

The 

netmask

 address can also be changed on this page if required. The 

Gateway IP address should be set to 0.0.0.0 in the 

gatewayip

 box unless a 

router is in circuit, in which case the correct gateway address should be entered. 
Click on ‘Reboot’ to implement the changes and the web page should refresh 
itself showing the updated parameters. 

The ‘Default IP’ DIP or slide switch must be returned to the up/right position and the 
front panel power cycled. This can be achieved by either briefly interrupting the 
power to the frame or, if this is not convenient, removing the ribbon-cable 
connection to the front panel. Care must be taken not to bend any pins in the cable 
connect as attempting to re-straighten any bent pins is likely to result in their 
fracture. Should incorrectly formatted information be added, an error dialogue box 
will be displayed indicating the likely cause of the errors.
