ETWORK
Adding Cougar3 components to your facility network greatly increases system flexibility and user
access; and also allows you to locate the router frame and control panels for maximum convenience and
shortest video cable runs. Ethernet communication between the system controller, local control panel
and the host PC is conducted over the facility network.
In order for the Cougar3 components to communicate on the network, the IP address and other network
parameters of each router component must be set to a value that is compatible with the network; usually
to values assigned by the facility IT administrator.
Cougar3 router components are preset to the following factory configured IP address values:
-
Primary System Controller – 192.168.1.203 (Video Frame)
-
Local Control Panel – 192.168.1.205
If these values are not compatible with your network application, the values may be changed through
operator menus available through Cattrax - refer to Cougar3 User Guide for further information.
Figure 3-4 and the procedure sequence below installs Cougar3 to the facility network using an Ethernet
switch to minimize the number of direct network connections.
Using the switch is not a requirement for installation, and it is permissible to directly connect each
router component directly to a facility network drop.
Host PC for Cattrax may be any compatible computer installed on the facility network.
•
Install a supplied Cat5 Ethernet cable between the Local Control Panel Ethernet Port, A, on rear
panel of video routing frame and any open port on Ethernet Switch, C, or directly to an
available facility network drop.
•
Install a second Cat5 cable between the Primary System Controller Ethernet Port, B, on rear
panel of video routing frame and any open port on Ethernet Switch, C, or directly to an
available facility network drop.
•
If an Ethernet switch is used, Install a Cat5 cable between any open port on Ethernet Switch, C,
and an available facility network drop, D, to interface the router components with the house
network.
