Configuring the NCI
1. Connecting to the NCI
Once the network hardware is in place, you can
initiate communication with the RA-NET-120
hardware.
Note:
The NCI requires 1 minute to boot up after
power is applied, before setup can be started. The
User LED (see NCI Connections, page 2) will flash
once every two seconds when the NCI is ready.
Open the web browser on the computer, and in the
Address bar enter:
http://lutron/setup
This will bring up the NCI setup start page.
Configure the NCI according to the instructions in
the next section.
Note:
During the setup process, the NCI is refer-
erred to as a “node”–a generic term for a network
device.
2. Configuring the NCI
Caution:
Select Devices before you perform
any other setup task. When you select a new
device, it will be necessary to enter the con-
figuration settings again.
NCI configuration is divided into four
procedures:
• Select Devices
– Enter custom name for accessing NCI
through a web browser (optional)
– Select the
Lutron_RadioRA
RS232
device file
• Configuration
– Setup Pages–choose number of
buttons, enter button names, and select
button functions
– Enable/Disable Pages
• Enter Contact Information
• Save Settings
These procedures are accessed through the NCI
setup pages. The Navigation bar on the left of the
page allows direct access to any step in the
process. Changing the device setup will affect
other settings and may require you to make
changes to the configuration.
The wizard steps through all four procedures in
order. Start the wizard by pressing the Start Wizard
button on the setup start page.
3. Using the NCI
Open the web browser on the computer, and in the
Address bar enter:
http://lutron
(or the custom network name
entered during device setup)
This will bring up the NCI user pages that were
configured in Step 1.
From a PDA, enter:
http://lutron/pda
Note:
The PDA control page will display the first
five buttons of the first page for PDA control.
Returning to Default Factory Settings
Returning a Network Control Interface to Default
Factory Settings will perma-
nently delete all current pro-
gramming in the NCI.
To return to Default Factory
Settings, press and hold the
reset button (located on the
bottom of the NCI) until the
User LED (see NCI
Connections, page 2)
begins to flash rapidly
(approximately 5 seconds).
When the reset button is
released, the NCI will reset.
