NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Initial Setup by Network Admin

Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual

System Requirements

 Web browser (Internet Explorer 7.0 or Firefox 3.6.8, etc.)

 JRE v1.4.x or greater (Java Plug-in for the XBar Controller)

Note: The instructions in this chapter assume that the Epica DGX 16 or 32 is connected to a LAN

and receiving power.

Determining IP Address for NXB-AP-1000 Interface

The Epica DGX 16 and 32 both feature a built-in zero-configuration networking client that allows you to

determine the unit’s IP address for the NXB-AP-1000 interface via Bonjour for Windows

or a similar

zero-configuration client. Zero-configuration (or zeroconf, also known as “Bonjour”) technology

provides a general method to discover services on a local area network. In essence, it allows you to set

up a network without any configuration.

Note: If you are not using NetLinx Studio, contact your Network Administrator for the IP address.

Accessing Zero-Config Information in the NetLinx Studio WebConsole

To determine the DHCP IP address that the network assigned to the Epica DGX 16 or 32 when the LAN

connection was established, you can access the unit via the Zero-Config feature in NetLinx Studio.

The NetLinx Studio version 3.0 (or higher) features a “Zero-Config” tab in the Workspace window. This

tab provides Zero-Config networking functionality within NetLinx Studio.

Note: Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for details on using Zero-Config.

The following assumes that the NXB-AP-1000 interface connection (TCP/IP port) is to the same LAN as

the PC running NetLinx Studio and the NetLinx Master for the Epica DGX 16 or 32.

To determine the IP address by accessing the NXB-AP-1000 via Zero-Config:

In NetLinx Studio (v3.0 or higher), left-click the Zero-Config tab on the Workspace Bar to open the

tab.

2. Right-click anywhere in the Workspace and select Refresh Zero-Config List to generate an initial

listing of all Zero-Config devices that have been detected (FIG. 40).

3. Click the plus symbol (+) to the left of the “NIB IP-Bridge Interface” (the NXB-AP-1000 interface

for the Epica DGX 16 or 32) in the Zero-Config list to expand its information.

The NXB-AP-1000 interface’s current IP Address is listed below its system name of “NIB IP-Bridge

Interface.”
