Integrator Series Room Combine 788
Refresh List:
Clicking the Refresh List button will re-scan the network for
devices and refresh the list of devices. If at first your device
is not located, double-check network connections and that
the device(s) is/are powered on. Then click the Refresh List
button.
Advanced:
The Advanced dialog will allow you to broaden your network
search for devices allowing you to manually designate a
Search IP address base and Search subnet mask. These
options can be used to search a network for devices
(through a router) other than the one your computer is
currently on.
General Notes:
1. The 788 boots up with DHCP enabled by default. This
means that as soon as you connect it to a network, it will
look for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address. If
a DHCP server is present, the 788 will get its IP address
from it. This process may take several minutes. With your
PC attached to the same network and thus getting its IP
address from the same DHCP server, all will be ready to
go.
2. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the 788
will not be able to obtain an IP address. While waiting,
the 788 will default to a private IP address in the range
of 169.254.x.x where x.x is the last four alphanumeric
characters of the 788’s MAC address. The 788’s MAC
address can be found on a sticker on the bottom of the
788. When there is no DHCP server present to assign
IP addresses to either the 788 or your PC, you may
need to configure your PC with a static IP in the range
of 169.254.x.x with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 in
order to communicate with the 788 in a direct connect
mode. However, if your PC is using the default network
settings, it should also have automatically self-assigned a
similar private IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x, and
if this is the case, you should be able to connect to the
788 directly. Even if the PC’s default settings have been
changed, the 788 will try to establish communications
by setting up appropriate routing table entries to reach
devices with 169.254.x.x addresses.
3. In the case of the first two methods (direct connection
and indirect connection), the 788 software will attempt
to set-up appropriate routing table entries for a seamless
connection regardless of the IP addresses of your PC
and 788. However, under Windows® Vista, administrative
privileges are required to allow the 788 software to
modify the routing table. For best results, launch the
788 software while logged in as an administrator, or run
choose to run the software as an administrator.
Note:
To
run a program as the Administrator under Vista, right click
on the program’s icon or shortcut and choose “Run as
administrator”.
4. The 788 will display its current IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway as well as other useful information on the
front panel display when in Status mode. To enter Status
mode, hold down the Menu button for 5 seconds. Then
the up and down arrow keys can be used to move
between various displays. This information may be useful
for troubleshooting.
Upon clicking the Next button, you are finished with the
Connection Wizard. A summary of your actions appears on
the following screen.
Click the Finish button to exit the Connection Wizard. You
