Setup
The Setup button from the Home page provides access to all the configuration of the COE-8. The
Setup area is divided into several pages:
Device Page:
Basic setup of the COE-8, IP address and TCP/IP settings
Name Assign a name up to 20 characters to help identify the COE-8
IP Address Set the IP Address manually in the Static Mode (see below)
IP Modes Set the method to configure the IP address. See section above for details.
§
Static: Manually entered IP address information
§
DHCP: IP address obtained upon power up from DHCP server.
§
ARP-Ping: IP address set from another computer
Port Settings The IP Setup page also allows for changing of the port assignment for both the Control
communication and web page access. Black Box recommends changing the Web port for units that
will be connected to the Internet. This will minimize the number of hacker attacks that the COE-8 will
be subject to.
The Control Port for both the COE-8
I
and all COE-8Os that receive status from it must be set the same.
If a port other than the default Port 80 is used for web browser access, that port must specifically be
used in the URL when accessing the COE-8. For example, if the Web Port is changed to 9090 then
the URL for the unit would be http://192.168.1.254:9090
Receivers (COE-8I Only)
Transmission Frequency
0 to 9999 seconds
This sets the frequency that the COE-8
I
transmits its status to the receivers. When set to 0,
transmission will only occur upon change of status.
Receiver IP Address Set up to 32 IP addresses of the COE-8O units that will have input
status information set to them.
Inputs (COE-8I Only)
The COE-8 I can send individual input status to multiple COE-8O receivers, or other IP address. This
page provides for selecting which output of the COE-8Os will be operated by each input of the COE-8I.
Select the Input from the drop down box, then configure the Name for that input, along with the
channel of each COE-8O unit to receive the status. Use Output 0 if no output of a given COE-8O is to
be used for that channel. Configure each of the 8 inputs as necessary.
