Connection through Ethernet port
To connect to the Building Access Controller 32 via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address
(Default IP address is 192.168.1.100).
If you DON'T have LAN, but DO have physical access to the Building Access Controller 32,
connect using a LAN crossover cable (not included).
NOTE:
Newer PCs should be able to use a
standard straight-through LAN cable and handle the crossover for you. To do this, you will temporarily
change your PC's IP address and subnet mask to match the Building Access Controller 32's factory
default IP settings. Follow these steps:
1. Get a LAN crossover cable and plug it directly into the Building Access Controller 32's LAN port.
2. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
3. Reset your PC's IP address to
192.168.1.200
. Contact your IT department if you are unsure how
to do this.
4. Reset your PC's subnet mask to
255.255.0.0
. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your
changes.
5. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the unit, you can access
the Building Access Controller 32 via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the unit's
default IP address of
192.168.1.100
.
6. Provision the Building Access Controller 32 with the appropriate information, then
change your
computer's IP address and subnet mask back to their original settings.
Now you're ready
to do the rest of your configuration via LAN. Plug your LAN cable into the Building
Access Controller 32 and see section "Logging On to the BACTL 32" to continue databasing using the
Web Browser.
