The response times may be a bit longer than you would normally expect due to the overhead of the
serial communications and the communications through the local EXB-IP module.
You can also change the IP Address in Step 2 to ping other devices in the network like routers and smart
switches.
I NSTALLING A DDITIONAL EXB-IP MODULES AFTER I NITIAL I NSTALLATION
If additional EXB-IP modules need to be installed after the initial installation has been completed, use one of
the two following sequences:
If using Multicast IP Address Mode:
1. Start EXB Config and edit the IP Parameters for the new EXB-IP modules.
2. Upload IP Parameters to all new EXB-IP modules via the serial port.
3. Physically install all new EXB-IP modules into the IP Network per this I NSTALLATION section.
If using Multicast IP Address Mode and All in Channel Target:
1. Start EXB Config and edit the IP Parameters for the new EXB-IP modules.
2. Upload IP Parameters to all new EXB-IP modules via the serial port.
3. Physically install all new EXB-IP modules into the IP Network per this I NSTALLATION section.
4. Re-upload IP configuration parameters to all existing Channel members. This will add the IP
Addresses for the new modules to their member lists.
If using Unicast/Replicated IP Address Mode and Central Site Target:
1. Start EXB Config and edit the IP Parameters for the all new EXB-IP modules.
2. Upload IP Parameters to all new EXB-IP modules via the serial port.
3. Re-upload IP Parameters to the existing Central Site EXB-IP module via the serial port.
4. Physically install the new EXB-IP modules into the IP network per this I NSTALLATION section starting
on Page 15.
5. If desired, re-upload IP Parameters to the other existing Channel members via the serial port. This will
put all EXB-IP modules in sync with the newly edited configuration data from Step 1 above.
