7.1 How to Connect RollCall Control Panel to the MV-805 unit
7.1.1 Preparation
Initial connection to an MV-805 unit is done with the “out-of-the-box” default settings of the
MV-805. As a minimum, one network interface can be configured to be the “control” network
connection, so that the unit can be subsequently connected onto a house network and the
remainder of the unit then set up.
Items required:
•
A Laptop, or some computer, with a RJ45 ethernet port and with SAM RollCall Control
Panel installed.
•
A direct CAT 5 ethernet cable.
Initial MV-805 connection and configuration should be carried out on a separate IT network,
separate from any house media network. The initial configuration sets up MV-805 IP
addresses and communication settings.
Preparing a Computer:
To prepare a computer for initial connection:
1.
Select which computer ethernet RJ45 port to use.
And set the port to a fixed, static IP address on the same network as the MV-805.
For example, use IP address 10.54.31.228 with sub-net mask 255.255.0.0.
2.
Disable any WiFi connections on the computer. (Because these may interfere with the
wired RJ45 network port.)
3.
Directly connect the computer RJ45 port to the “Control” network interface of the
MV-805. See Figure 47.
Next, connect RollCall Control Panel to the unit, see sub-section 7.1.2.
7.1.2 Connecting RollCall Control Panel
1.
With the MV-805s “Control” network interface connected to a network (or directly to a
computer for an initial connection),
open the RollCall Control Panel application from:
Start
>
All Programs
>
Snell
>
RollCall
>
Control Panel
The RollCall Control Panel application starts; the initial screen is displayed. See
Figure 48.
Note:
Default IP Address on the “Control” network interface:
A new MV-805 will be using a static, default IP address (10.54.31.221) on its “Control”
network interface. (I.e. the
lower, left-most
RJ45 connector, when viewing the unit from
the rear.)
See Appendix A.9 “Default Ethernet IP Addresses” on page 132 for default IP addresses
on all network ports.
