Changing Vicon Network Defaults
This section provides a procedure for changing the:
•
default octets of the IP address,
•
adding a host list,
•
changing other associated parameters.
The IP address of each V1500CDU must be unique. If you are on a WAN and the V1500CDU IP address
scheme of 192.168.xxx.yyy is not compatible with other devices, then you may use this procedure to change
the 192.168 octets of this addressing scheme. This is only recommended if another component of your
network uses these prefixes and it would be more difficult to change the default scheme of the other
components. You can use the 192.168 octets even if other components on your network use 192.168, as
long as the complete address is unique for each device. Changing the Vicon defaults requires a laptop
computer or other terminal device to access menu systems needed to change the defaults.
You may use a PC to change settings discussed above as follows:
1. Open the front panel of the V1500CDU card cage and locate Ethernet Card 1 on the card slot label, using
precautions to prevent injury to yourself and equipment, as dangerous voltages exist in the card cage.
Also take care to prevent static discharge.
2. Gently unsnap the red extractor tab and slide the card out of the card cage.
3. Locate S1 and S2, and referring to the figures and tables in the Network Module section of this manual,
set all poles on both DIP switches to OFF.
4. Replace the network card, making sure that the card seats in the rear connector, and snap down the red
extractor tab.
5. Connect an RS-232C straight-through cable from the 9-pin D-shell shown below to the serial port on your
PC. Typically, this will be a female-female 9-pin D-shell to 9-pin D-shell cable; however, check the
connector type on your PC serial port to make sure that this is the connector you need. This cable may
be purchased at your local electronics store.
