Installation and Operation Manual

Configuring Network Settings
When shipped, the X50 is configured with a default IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. If you intend to control the unit remotely, or connect it to a network hub/switch
along with other X50 units, you will need to reconfigure the IP with unique network
settings. Local control (with a direct Ethernet crossover connection to a PC) does not require
any IP configuration.
Supported Network Protocols
The X50 supports the following network protocols for remote/network control:

CCS Protocol

HTTP

SNMP
Making Required Hardware Connections
If you are connecting an X50 directly to a PC (no network connection), connect one end of
a crossover Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet RJ-45 port on the back of the frame, and the
other end to the PC Ethernet port. If you are establishing a network connection, connect a
straight-through 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable between the X50 Ethernet port and the
network hub/switch.
Setting IP and Subnet Mask Addresses
To allow devices to communicate on a network, you need to set all X50 devices to the same
subnet (network location). When shipped, X50 units are configured with the same default
IP (device identifier) and subnet addresses. These addresses need to be changed so that
each unit is uniquely identified and the network location of all units is accurately reflected.
An IP address is made up of a four-item set of numbers (octet). The default
(factory-configured) IP address for every X50 unit is
192.168.100.250 . For a class C
network, you must change the first three items in the octet to identify the location (address)
of the unit on your network, and also change the last item in the octet to uniquely identify
the device from other X50 units.
The default subnet mask address for every X50 is 255.255.255.0 .
Setting the IP Address of a Single Unit with a Local or Remote
Control Panel
Follow these steps to configure the network addresses using a local or remote control
panel:
1 Follow this path: System Config > Setup (in the RCP, select Device Setup ).
2 Scroll to the Device IP parameter, and then press Enter .
If this is a new unit being configured, the default IP displays. Otherwise, the current IP
address of the unit displays.
