The serial server should be configured with a static IP address for connection to the
Magnia SG20 local network. This address must be within the subnet range of the Magnia
SG20 local network, but must be outside the local network’s DHCP range. With the
default configuration, this could be any address from 192.168.1.241 through
192.168.1.254. Recommended values to prevent collision with other Digital Central
options are 192.168.1.253 or 192.168.251. The serial server comes with a setup
program that will allow you to configure it with the selected address.
Configuring the Home Automation Controller
The first step in configuring your Magnia SG20 Home Automation interface is selecting
the home automation controller installed in your home. Make sure you have a client
computer connected to your Magnia SG20, and configured so that it can access the built-
in Digital Central web site.
To configure the automation interface:
1
Enter the following URL in your web browser:
http://myserver/digital
to display the
Magnia SG20 Digital Central web site. (If you have changed the name of your
server, replace the name “myserver” in the URL with your server’s new name).
Once connected to the Digital Central web site, a menu on the left allows you to select
various options.
2
Expand the Home Automation item, and select the Configuration sub-menu.
The main configuration page appears.
NOTE: The Digital Central web site may work with several different web browsers,
but it has been designed to work best with Internet Explorer 4.1 and above. Also,
the PDA interface is supported for general use of the home automation module, but
it is not supported for configuring the home automation module (i.e. a notebook or
desktop computer must be used).
