Hardware Setup
Installing the ARC Plus Unit
Install the ARC Plus in a location with access to your LAN/WAN. If you intend to operate the ARC
Plus in a stand-alone configuration (dial-up modem and telephone access, but no TCP/IP
connection), a network connection must still be available for on-the-bench configuration. A
crossover cable may also be used to connect a computer directly to the ARC Plus for
configuration.
Configuring ARC Plus Network Settings
After installing the ARC Plus in the equipment rack, connect the ARC Plus port marked Ethernet
to your LAN/WAN using CAT5e cable. After obtaining a static IP address, follow these
instructions to configure network settings:
Important! The default IP address on the ARC Plus is the same as the default IP address of
Plus-X devices. If you are installing an ARC Plus and a Plus-X device on the same network,
avoid IP address conflicts by configuring network settings for one unit before connecting the
other unit to your network.

To establish network settings for the ARC Plus Unit:
1.
Power up the ARC Plus. The unit will briefly show the firmware version before loading
the main display.
2.
Rotate the jog wheel until
Config
is selected and press the jog wheel to enter the
configuration menu. Select the System submenu and then select Network.
3.
Enter the private IP, public IP and port values that will identify the ARC Plus as a unique
device on the network. The private IP is the IP address you will use to access the ARC
Plus on your company LAN/WAN. The public IP address is used when connecting to the
ARC Plus from outside the LAN/WAN, provided your network allows connections from
outside. If the ARC Plus will not be accessible from outside the network, enter the
private IP address in the public IP field.
4.
When you are done with the IP address and port settings, the ARC Plus will prompt you
for the subnet and gateway settings. Once you have entered those, you will return to
the configuration menu. Your ARC Plus can now be accessed by AutoPilot 2010 and
AutoLoad Plus.
Note: If you make a mistake while entering your settings, press and hold the jog wheel button
until the network configuration closes and returns you to the top of the menu tree. Navigate to
the network configuration menu again, and enter the new settings.
ARC Plus SL
Network settings on the ARC Plus SL are established using AutoLoad Plus software, which
requires a TCP/IP connection. The default IP address of the ARC Plus SL is 192.168.0.100. In
