2.8.1 Installing and settings
Before see the detailed explanation, an overview
on the settings procedure.
a)
Connect the 562dsp to the LAN (Hub, Switch or
Router) using a standard UTP cable.
b)
Check the IP address of the unit using “DS
Manager” software (this tool is available into the
folder “IP-Access” in the original CD).
c)
A PC will be used to run the software and to access
to the 562dsp hardware. We call to this PC “local
terminal”. Install in the “local terminal” the Solidyne
VirtualRack software, provided with the unit. If there
is a Firewall (by software or hardware) you must
enable port 1101 for the communication with the
562dsp.
d)
Install in the “local terminal” the ‘Virtual Serial Port’.
For make this, install the IP-ACCESS pack from
Virtual Rack 562 CD-ROM.
e)
Run the VRack5 software, it will explore the first 5
ports to detect the audio processor, if not detected
you must set the port number in the file
serial.ini
f)
To access from outside to the LAN, please refers to
“2.8.3 –Accessing from Internet”
2.8.2.1 Set up
Connect the 562dsp/IP to the LAN and turn on. Next
to the connector RJ45 a green LED will light. If
amber LED lights then the network detected is of
100Mbps.
From setup CD-ROM install the IP-ACCESS pack,
running \IP-ACCESS\Setup.exe. Once installed, run
‘DS Manager’
tool, which provides in 562dsp/IP CD-
ROM (folder IP-ACCESS). This tool will show all
active units connected to your LAN. Each unit has a
MAC address that is unique and fixed; and an IP
address that you can change freely.
Select the unit from the list and press the button
[Settings]. Here you can define a new IP. In this
example the local area network uses address like
192.168.0.x, to accede from any terminal of that
network to 562dsp/IP you need that IP address is
compatible. Assign a fixed IP that it does not
generate conflicts with another terminal (in the
example 192.168.0.11).
If you have a DHCP server you can obtain a
dynamic IP address, although if IP changes
frequently will require changes in the configuration
of the clients (or in the LAN like for the access
from Internet).
Assign the Gateway address (usually
192.168.0.1), and the subnet mask. This is
needed if you wish to accede to the 562dsp/IP
from outside of the LAN. If you don’t know these
values, contacts to your network administrator.
The port used is
1101
. You can change it if
conflicts with another application appear in the
terminal client who uses the same port, but this
rarely occurs.
¡NEVER PRESS THE BUTTON “INITIALIZE”! THIS
OPTION WILL CHANGE CRITICAL VALUES FROM
FACTORY DEFAULTS.
Critical default values:
•
In the section 'Connection',
Transport Protocol
= TCP
(default value).
•
In the section 'Connection',
Inband commands
= 0 (dissabled)
(default value).
•
In the section 'Serial Port',
On the fly
commands = 1 (ennabled)
(default value). If
disable it applications can not set the baud rate.
•
In the section 'Serial Port',
'DRT Mode = 1
Indicate connection status'
(default value). It’s
a critical value. If is changed communication will
fail.
