Resetting the IP address of a UpCon
You may need to reset the IP address of a Up-
Con. This procedure is described in the section
“Front panel reset button” on page 26.
If the serial number of a particular UpCon ends
with “00”, the default IP address for this device
will be 192.168.1.100, as “00” is not a valid IP
number in all networks.
There is a small risk that two UpCon (or other TC
signal processors) on a network have the same
last two digits in the serial number and thus will
conflict after a reset. To resolve this issue, reset
one UpCon first and change its IP address be-
fore connecting the second UpCon.
