Basic Configuration of a Marquee P-MP
After completing the Configurator installation, you are ready to configure your Marquee P-MP system.
The following steps provide a quick procedure to get you started. For more in-depth information about the
Configurator and its commands, menus and options, please refer to the
Network Configurator User
Guide
, available as a pdf file on your CD ROM. Also, you may access the online help documentation of
the Configurator by clicking
Help -> Index
on the Menu Bar or by pressing the
F1
function key on your
keyboard.
IMPORTANT:
Your Marquee P-MP units must be on the same subnet as the computer where the
Configurator program is installed, or have a routable IP address, in order to access them.
If not, you will get a status of
Offline
for the units (see the
Status
column in Figure 3.1)
even if the LEDs show activity. In order to be able to configure the units, change the IP
address of your computer to a 198.17.74.x sub-net (the Marquee P-MP’s default sub-net
configured from factory). Once you have access to the units, you can assign a new IP
address to them later by clicking on the
Setup
tab and
IP Host
button.
The Marquee P-MP is shipped from factory pre-configured for operation and with the proper transmit
power settings. The units are set with the following default IP addresses:
Marquee P-MP Base:
198.17.74.253
Marquee P-MP CPE:
198.17.74.254
The default read/write password is
public
.
