CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
IP CONTROL OF AD-4x UNITS - ETHERNET
The built-in Ethernet port allows convenient control of one or more AD-4x units
(maximum 8) using IP via an Ethernet network (LAN) from an RTI XP processor.
Configuration of the AD-4x networking is done through a web interface which
is accessible through any web browser (See “CONFIGURING THE AD-4X USING
THE WEB INTERFACE” section of this guide).
NOTES: For IP control:
•
DO NOT use both RS-232 and IP for control simultaneously. Using both
control methods at the same time will affect control reliability.
• The RTI control system must have a two-way driver running on the XP
processor.
• The RTI control system and each AD-4x must be connected to the same
Ethernet network (LAN).
