Configuring the IP connection without CXpro
ᴴᴰ
If there is no instance of
CXpro
ᴴᴰ
available with the appropriate
Site
configuration, it is possible to
configure an individual
CBXi
controller using its built-in Web UI.
To access the Web UI, you must know the controller’s IP address.
How to determine the IP address of a specific CBXi controller without CXpro
ᴴᴰ
By default, all
CBXi
devices leaving the factory are configured to use
DHCP
, and have a hostname set to
“
CBXi
” followed by the controller’s serial number –
e.g.
CBXi901004A
If your network has a
DHCP
server, you can use IP scanning software such as
to locate controllers
and use the hostname to identify the IP address of a specific controller.
For example, In the screenshot above, the
DHCP
server has allocated
IP address
192.168.1.121
to
CBXi
with hostname
CBXi321043
.
If your network does not have a
DHCP
server, then the
CBXi
controller will use a default
IP address
, which
is made up as follows:
•
The first byte of the IP address is set to 10
•
The 6 digits of the numerical part of the serial number grouped into 3 sets of 2 digits to form the last
3 bytes of the IP address.
For example, a
CBXi
with serial number
939121D
will be allocated the Default IP address of
10.93.91.21
, which is also used as the Recovery IP. The IP address can be changed from the
default, as shown below, but the recovery IP address should be left at the default value so that it is
known in case of emergency.
Note
: For a laptop (or PC) to communicate with a
CBXi
configured in this way, the IP address of the
laptop’s Ethernet port must be set to a subnet that is compatible with the
CBXi
’s IP address.
For example, if the
CBXi
has an IP address of
10.90.10.01
, the laptop could have an address
something like
10.90.10.nn
with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
.
