Proprietary Information of PESA 4-2
Vidblox modules are shipped from the factory with an auto-run CD that loads the Cattrax Cub controller
application and a USB driver onto a host PC. Procedures for loading Cattrax Cub on the host PC are
presented in Paragraph 4.4.

TEPS
In most installations Vidblox modules are programmed at the factory and should not require additional
configuration prior to installation. In some installations using Cattrax, it may be necessary to modify
factory set network communication parameters.
Using either Cattrax or Cattrax Cub, the user can monitor and modify many functional attributes of a
module, review module identification data or network parameters. Vidblox-specific configuration and
monitoring screens and control functions are identical with both Cattrax and Cattrax Cub. Procedures
for connecting Vidblox to a network and modifying network communication parameters with Cattrax
are discussed in Paragraph 4.3. If you will be using only network control and do not need to load
Cattrax Cub continue to Paragraph 4.6.
DO NOT connect a Vidblox module to the host PC until the USB driver is
installed on the computer.

ONFIGURATION WITH

ATTRAX
In order for Cattrax to communicate with Vidblox modules and other PESA equipment on the facility
network, the network interface device used by Cattrax must be actively connected to the subnet, or
multiple subnets, containing equipment you wish to control. When communicating on a subnet
containing PESA network controllable devices, Cattrax should immediately begin the discovery process
for all devices configured for the same subnet. In many installations, Vidblox modules and other PESA
devices may reside on subnets different from one another within the network. Cattrax allows you to
easily select both the network interface device it uses and the subnets on which it communicates through
the Network Preferences tab under the Settings menu.
To view or modify current network communication parameters for Cattrax, click the Network
Preferences tab under the Setting menu in Cattrax’s menu bar to open the Host Network Configuration
screen as shown here.
