IP Futura module / Intuitive Internal IP Network card
In an IP system there are two options,
IP-L
IP-r
IP-L allows you to fix an IP address into the controller, which you would use when you are connecting the controllers onto a cus
tomer’s
local area network. This would allow the customer to view each controller using Internet Explorer
IP-r allows you to give each controller on the system a unique number. This number is then allocated a dynamic IP address by the
system DHCP server (such as the RDM Data Manager or Data Director)
IP-L
To configure the communication module or network card for IP-L, set all three rotary switches to zero. The module should then be
connected to the controller. In the case of an Intuitive Mercury controller where the network card is already fitted, the controller should be
powered off, all three rotary switches set to zero and the controller powered on.

connect to the network.
