INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1) Initial Setup by Web Browser
PIPM-R-7 require a network connection for initial configuration, control and firmware updates. The PIPM-
R-7 are shipped from the factory with static IP address 192.168.0.111.
Initial setup by using web browser on the host computer connected to the same network as the PIPM-R-
7. We recommend Chrome and Firefox browsers for control on windows. Safari for control on macOS.
2)
LAN Connections
Three LAN connections to the PIPM-R-7 are NOT necessarily required on an ongoing basis. After initial
setup, you can access all control parameters through on of the Media LANs with the appropriate network
configuration. See Networking option item 5.2 for more information.
3)
Settings
The configuration settings are retained even when the unit is powered offree LAN connections to the
PIPM-R-7 are NOT necessarily required on an ongoing basis. After initial setup, you can access all control
parameters

WEB CONFIGURATION & INTERFACE
1) Overview
Once you have established network connectivity with the PIPM-R-7, you can further configure and control
the module through its web interface.
2)
Remote Control Overview
An optimized web server in the PIPM-R-7 allows remote control and parameter setting adjustments via a
browser client running on a network wired computer. The network can be a closed local area network, a
direct connection between a PIPM-R-7 and a computer, or even exposed through a firewall to a WAN.
Each PIPM-R-7-R10 uses a standard RJ-45 connector for the Control LAN connection, and two SFP+ cages
for the 10 Gbps Ethernet Media LAN connections.
To connect to the PIPM-R-7, attach the module to your network and enter its Control Network IP address
into the web browser. If authentication has been configured, you may need to enter a password.
Networking Option using Media LAN Port
To reduce facility cabling to the PIPM-R-7 module, it is an option to setup your network
connection through an Ethernet switch via the Media LAN ports (rather than using the dedicated
Control Port). This means that you will have just one or two cables to the unit, instead of two or
three. To implement this approach, follow these general steps:
1. Note the IP address of the unit’s Media LAN 1 or Media LAN 2 port. This should be a static IP
