Installation and configuration
To install the RMS-CONVERTER, it is necessary to connect it to the Ethernet network and supply power.
Note: If the RMS-CONVERTER is already installed within an RMS system, the device is then write
protected and no changes can be made to the device. In order to carry out changes within the device,
the device must be removed from RMS.
3.1
Default configuration
The RMS-CONVERTER is by default configured with DHCP active. That means that the RMS-CONVERTER
receives the IP-address automatically from the DHCP-server.
IMPORTANT: Rotronic recommends using a fix IP address for the RMS-CONVERTER as well as for the
digital devices. The reason being the support of the log function within the RMS-CONVERTER in case
of any interruption to the RMS server.
A fix IP-address can be set by a manual configuration via the web browser or via the RMS CONFIG Software.
The host name of the device is “rms-convXXXXXXXX” where XXXXXXXX is a space holder for the serial
number without the first two digits “00” (see the bottom side of the RMS Converter).
3.2
Configuration via web browser
To configure the RMS-CONVERTER please type in the host name of the device
http://rms-convXXXXXXXX
into the address bar of the web browser.
If the RMS-CONVERTER is configured with a fixed IP address, the device can be accessed by typing the IP
address into the web browser (example: http://192.168.0.1).
