Network Settings
When shipped, the Platinum VX is configured with a default IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. If you intend to control the unit remotely, or connect it to a network hub/ switch along with
other Platinum VX units, you will need to reconfigure the IP with unique network settings. Local control
(with a direct Ethernet crossover connection to a PC) does not require any IP configuration.
To connect a Platinum VX directly to a PC (no network connection), connect one end of a crossover
Ethernet cable to the Control Ethernet RJ-45 port on the back of the frame, and the other end to the
PC Ethernet port.
To establish a network connection, connect a straight-through 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable
between the Platinum VX Control Ethernet port and the network hub/switch.
