Base Unit Network Configuration
The SilverBack V base unit can monitor the Status and Control settings of the system through a web-
based dashboard embedded within the frame controller software. The procedure for connecting to a
facility Ethernet network will depend on the network requirements of the site. Your IT department
should be contacted before connecting to the facility network to avoid potential conflicts.
To display the current network settings of the frame controller card, navigate to the Base Unit menu on
the front panel display and select Network. No settings can be changed from the Base Network Settings
menu, as they are configured either from the DIP switch accessible from the rear of the unit or from the
dashboard web page.
