Extron Electronics IPL T CR48 - Manual (Page 18)

Initial start up
When you power on the IPL T CR48 for the first time, there are two ways to set up the IP
address:
z z Use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command method.
z z Use the direct PC method.
The default Web pages that are preloaded on the IPL T CR48 provide a way to reconfigure
the unit once it has an active network connection with IP access. These Web pages are
compatible with Internet Explorer
® (version 6.0 or higher). See Communication with the
Interface in the “Communication and Control” section for information on accessing and
configuring the controller.
Once the unit has been reconfigured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can
subsequently be used to contact or control it. See
Ethernet Connection , earlier in this
section, for additional information.
IPL T CR48 Interface Configuration
Configuring the IPL T CR48 using the ARP command
You can make use of the ARP command to set up an IP address for your IPL T CR48. The
ARP command tells your computer to associate the MAC address of the IPL T CR48 with the
assigned IP address. You must then use the ping command to access the IPL T CR48 unit, at
which point the IP address of the device server is reconfigured.
NOTE: To use this setup method, both your computer and IPL T CR48 must be
connected to the same LAN. Or, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to
connect the device server directly to the Ethernet card of the computer.
Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for your IPL T CR48 from your network administrator.
2. Obtain the MAC address of the IPL T CR48 from the label on its back panel.
3. If the unit has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If
not, perform a Mode 4 system reset. See
Resetting the Controller in the “Installation
and Operation” section for detailed information on reset modes.
CAUTION: The IPL T CR48 unit must be configured with the factory default IP
address — 192.168.254.254 — before executing the ARP command, as
described in the following steps.
