Configuring the Unit
The following configuration steps are required:
‹
Setting a series of parameters, including the IP address
‹
Performing a point-to-point connection
Computer Requirements
The minimum software and hardware requirements for the
computer needed to configure the unit are:
‹
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or higher, or Windows XP
‹
Network card
‹
Serial port
Setting Unit Parameters
The first step in installing an S1600e system is to change
the IP address of the unit to ensure compatibility with an
existing network. The default IP addresses of all units are
based on the APIPA service and will be in the range
169.254.X.Y, where X and Y are relative to the MAC address
of the individual unit; for more information about the APIPA
service, see page 63.
To work properly, units on the same network must have
unique IP addresses. The unit will not prevent you from
entering a duplicate address. However, its system status
LED will turn to flashing red; then the unit will reboot with
an APIPA address. If the unit is a receiver, the “Duplicate IP
Detected” message will also appear in the on-screen display
(for more information about this display, see Chapter 5,
page 35).
You can set the IP addresses of a unit by two methods:
‹
Connecting your unit to the same LAN as the computer
running SConfigurator (described next)
‹
Using the command line interface (see page 31)
Next, you have to set the serial port parameters of the unit.
