Connecting with the Web RCS
The Ascender 32 uses standard ethernet LAN
networking. To connect the Web RCS to your new
Ascender 32, you first need to connect a computer
to the Ascender 32 using the Ethernet cable. Then
on your computer open an internet browser which
supports Flash® player.
Into this internet browser, please enter the IP
address of the Ascender 32 displaying on the front
panel screen.
The connection should start.
Often, computers are set to DHCP client (automatic
IP detection) mode. You may need to change the
IP address configuration on your computer before
you can connect. These settings are found in the
properties for your LAN network adaptor, and vary
by operating system.
The default IP address on the Ascender 32 is
192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Therefore, you can assign your computer a static
IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of
255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.
If the connection is not starting, please see:
• Be sure the computer IP address is on the same
network and subnet as the Ascender 32.
• Be sure that no two devices have the same IP
address (prevent IP conflicts)
• Check your network cable. You will need a
crossover ethernet cable if you are connecting
directly from the Ascender 32 to the computer. If
a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet
cables.
• For more information, please see the user manual
or contact your local technical support.
Once you have successfully connected, the flash
app will automatically download and launch in your
browser. When the two icons in the bottom right
corner of the screen turn green, the Web RCS is
ready to use. If you are having trouble syncronizing,
try clearing the cache and refreshing the page
(ctrl+F5 in most browsers):
- ASC3204: will turn green when connected
- Synch oK: will turn green when the Web RCS has
finished syncronizing.
CAUTIon!
Mounting using only the front
rack ears is sufficient for fixed
installations. Additional support,
such as the rear rack support or
slide rails, is required for mobile
applications, and recommended
for all.
