Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface
The communication between the Protege System and the Controller uses a 10/100 Ethernet network operating
the TCP/IP protocol suite. The IP address of the Controller can be configured using the LCD Keypad Terminal.
The default IP address is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. These
IP address settings are commonly used for internal networks.
i
Installing the Protege System Controller on an active network requires knowledge of the configuration
and structure for the network. Always consult the network or system administrator and ask them to
provide you with a fixed IP address that can be assigned to the Protege System Controller.
When the IP address has previously been set and is not known you are able to set configuration DIP
switch 3 which on power-up of the Protege System Controller will configure the IP address to
192.168.111.222. This will allow access to the configuration utility to change or review the
programmed IP Address.
When installing an Ethernet connection the Protege System Controller shall be interfaced using a standard
segment (<100m in length) and shall be connected to a suitable Ethernet hub or switch.
