computer in DHCP mode. It will automatically receive an IP address in the
10.0.0.0/24 subnet from the Host Network port.

7.4.2 EMS Access Methods
The FlexWave EMS has four access methods that are listed below and as shown and
numbered in Figure 7-3.
11 A laptop subtended to the Craft port on the Host provides direct access to the
EMS. In this scenario the Host and the Remote can be configured and monitored
through the EMS. This is the default access scenario during initial configuration
and commissioning as described in “Access the EMS” on page 144.
22 A personal computer with a Web browser connected through the internet or
intranet to the Network port on the Host. This method provides a remote user
access to the EMS through a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network
(WAN). In this scenario the Host and subtended Remotes can be configured and
monitored through the EMS. After initial system setup, this is the default access
method.
33 A personal computer with a Web browser connected to the Network port on the
Remote provides a remote user a LAN connection to the Host network interface,
which provides access to the EMS. See “Accessing the EMS Through the Remote
Network Port” on page 189.
It can take a while for the system to update the interfaces (can be up to 30 minutes, but
typically i
s no more than 10 minutes). If the Remotes already have a DHCP IP address
from an external network an
d you change it to built- in (in a different subnet), it can take
30 minutes for the Remote to request
an update from an external IP address to the
10.0.0.x IP address. During this transient period, ther
e will not be communication with
the Remotes.
The Host will also take awhile to change from an externa
l IP address to the 10.0.0.1 Ip
address, so a period of no communication with the Host can be expecte
d as well.
EMS Access Methods 1 and 2 are true for the default External Network mode described
in this chapter.
If your Prism system is set to Built- in Network mode, then the
definitions for EMS Access Methods 1 a
nd 2 for the Host Network and Craft ports are
are switched.
