CONNECTING TO THE DC-RMCU1 VIA THE INTERNET 

Prerequisites 

System

 

administrators

 

must

 

decide

 

whether

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

will

 

operate

 

on

 

the

 

network

 

with

 

DHCP

 

or

 

a

 

fixed

 

IP

 

address.

 

The

 

factory

set

 

DC

RMCU1

 

will

 

have

 

these

 

static

 

addresses:

 

IP

 

address:

 

192.168.100.220,

 

gateway

 

address:

 

192.168.100.1,

 

netmask:

 

255.255.255.0,

 

and

 

DNS

 

address:

 

192.168.100.1

.

 

If

 

you

 

configure

 

it

 

to

 

use

 

DHCP,

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

will

 

request

 

an

 

available

 

IP

 

address

 

on

 

your

 

network.

 

You

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

determine

 

what

 

address

 

it

 

has

 

been

 

given.

 

If

 

DHCP

 

is

 

not

 

used,

 

system

 

administrators

 

must

 

also

 

choose

 

an

 

unused

 

IP

 

address,

 

and

 

other

 

network

 

settings

 

to

 

use

 

in

 

the

 

Network

 

Setup

 

screen.

 

System

 

administrators

 

will

 

also

 

need

 

to

 

choose

 

an

 

email

 

service

 

and

 

address

 

to

 

use

 

for

 

notifications,

 

if

 

needed.

 

These

 

will

 

be

 

used

 

in

 

the

 

Email

 

Setup

 

Screen.

 

DETERMINING THE IP ADDRESS OF THE DC-RMCU1 

Power

 

up

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

then

 

connect

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

to

 

the

 

network

 

with

 

an

 

Ethernet

 

cable.

 

A

 

3

 

foot

 

cable

 

is

 

provided.

 

Using DHCP 

The

 

DC

RMCU1

 

will

 

attempt

 

to

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

network

 

via

 

DHCP

 

when

 

it

 

is

 

first

 

connected,

 

or

 

when

 

you

 

perform

 

a

 

factory

 

reset.

  

You

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

get

 

the

 

IP

 

address

 

in

 

one

 

of

 

two

 

ways.

 

You

 

can

 

get

 

the

 

IP

 

address

 

from

 

the

 

DHCP

 

server’s

 

client

 

list,

 

or

 

you

 

can

 

use

 

a

 

PC

 

on

 

the

 

same

 

network

 

to

 

scan

 

for

 

the

 

new

 

IP

 

address

 

by

 

using

 

a

 

software

 

tool

 

such

 

as

 

Angry

 

IP

 

Scanner.

 

In

 

Angry

 

IP

 

Scanner,

 

you

 

should

 

add

 

the

 

MAC

 

address

 

“Fetcher”

 

under

 

“Tools

 

>

 

Fetchers”.

 

The

 

DuraComm

 

MAC

 

addresses

 

all

 

start

 

with

 

a

 

base

 

address

 

of

 

70

B3

D5

6B

3.

 

Write

 

down

 

the

 

IP

 

address

 

of

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1,

 

then

 

proceed

 

to

 

the

 

section

 

in

 

this

 

manual

 

named

 

Open

 

a

 

Web

 

Connection

 

to

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

”.

 

Using Static DC-RMCU1 IP and Network Configuration 

If

 

your

 

network

 

is

 

not

 

set

 

up

 

for

 

DHCP,

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

manually

 

configure

 

the

 

settings

 

to

 

match

 

the

 

network

 

it

 

will

 

be

 

used

 

on.

 

Before

 

you

 

can

 

do

 

that,

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

configure

 

a

 

computer

 

to

 

talk

 

to

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

at

 

the

 

default

 

configuration

 

settings

 

shown

 

above.

 

We

 

will

 

use

 

Windows

 

7

 

as

 

an

 

example.

 

Other

 

operating

 

systems

 

will

 

vary,

 

but

 

the

 

overall

 

concept

 

is

 

the

 

same.

 

1.

 

Disconnect

 

your

 

PC

 

from

 

all

 

networks.

 

2.

 

Connect

 

it

 

directly

 

to

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1

 

with

 

an

 

Ethernet

 

cable

 

(You

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

use

 

an

 

Ethernet

 

crossover

 

cable

 

if

 

the

 

PC

 

does

 

not

 

automatically

 

detect

 

this

 

configuration).

 

3.

 

Open

 

the

 

control

 

panel

 

on

 

your

 

PC

 

and

 

select

 

“View

 

Network

 

Status

 

and

 

Tasks”

 

4.

 

Click

 

on

 

“Change

 

Adapter

 

Settings”

 

on

 

the

 

left

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

screen.

 

5.

 

Right

 

click

 

on

 

“Local

 

Area

 

Connection”

 

and

 

click

 

on

 

“Properties”

 

6.

 

Click

 

on

 

“Internet

 

Protocol

 

Version

 

4

 

(TCP/IPv4)”

 

to

 

highlight

 

it,

 

then

 

click

 

the

 

“Properties”

 

button.

 

7.

 

Before

 

you

 

make

 

any

 

changes,

 

record

 

the

 

existing

 

settings

,

 

so

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

change

 

them

 

back

 

when

 

you

 

are

 

finished

 

setting

 

up

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1.

 

8.

 

Enable

 

“Use

 

The

 

Following

 

IP

 

Address”

 

9.

 

Now

 

enter

 

192.168.100.221

 

for

 

the

 

IP

 

address.

 

10.

 

Enter

 

255.255.255.0

 

Subnet

 

mask

  

11.

 

Click

 

OK

 

to

 

save

 

the

 

network

 

configuration.

 

12.

 

Jump

 

to

 

the

 

section

 

in

 

this

 

owners

 

guide

 

named

 

“Open

 

a

 

Web

 

Connection

 

to

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1”

 

to

 

log

 

in

 

and

 

enter

 

the

 

final

 

network

 

settings

 

for

 

the

 

DC

RMCU1.
