Initial ATP-2000 Panel Device Configuration
Introduction
Configuring the ATP-2000 panel device is done from its control screen (web page). The IP
address of the unit is shown on the splash screen at power on. (See
Figure 3-1 on page 14.)
IP Address Assignment
The ATP-2000 panel ships with DHCP enabled in its network settings. If a static IP address is
required, then this can be set up from the unit’s control screen (web page) along with other
network interface settings. (See
Step 1: Network Settings , on page 18.) If the panel is
connected to a network with a DHCP service enabled, then a suitable IP address is
automatically assigned to the unit at power on.
Panel ID Assignment
The ATP-2000 panel ships with no Panel ID set. This means that the panel will be presented
in the
Network window of GV Orbit Client in the discovered devices section, without a
Panel ID yet being set.
A unique Panel ID must be set. (See Step 2: GV Orbit Server Settings , on page 18.)
Panel Discovery
GV Orbit Client can automatically discover the panel (and its IP address) if the panel is
connected to a network with DHCP enabled
and with multicast data packets enabled as
part of a GV Orbit system; the panel is presented in the Client’s Network window. If the
panel’s Panel ID has not yet been set up, then the ATP-2000 appears in the ‘unassigned
devices’ section of the
Network window.
The control screen of the ATP-2000 panel can be opened from GV Orbit Client via the
Network window (right-click on the panel item and select ‘Control’).
Device List
In a GV Orbit system, the ATP-2000 automatically advertises its presence to the GV Orbit
server(s), and it receives a list of devices that it may control and it populates its
Home
screen, listing the devices etc.
Note: The Panel ID takes the form of a RollCall address which must be
unique in a GV Orbit system.
Note: An ATP-2000 panel is discoverable, if multicast network traffic is
enabled and is visible to the Client and to the panel. See
ATP-2000
Software Release Notes for IP port information. (See Related
Documentation , on page iii.)
Note: A web browser can be used to see the ATP-2000 panel’s control screen
(web page), by entering the panel’s IP address into the browser.
