Important Note: Make a note in
the front of this manual, or better
yet, on a sticker on the back of your
Architect amplier when you change
the Static IP address setting. You will
need to know that address to access
the unit. If you forget the address, you
can perform a system scan or reset
the address to the factory default
192.168.0.249. by turning o the
AC Power Switch on the back of the
amplier, hold in the reset switch (the
small hole between the LAN LEDs)
with a paper clip and then turn the
power switch back on while holding
the reset switch in for 5 seconds.
This restores all the factory default
settings.
Ethernet Connectivity
15
To remotely access the web server of the Architect from an area
outside of the local network you will need a full time connection
to the Internet (Cable, T1), a router/rewall, and more than basic
knowledge of TCP/IP network setup. Check with a professional.
The simplest means of making the web server of the Architect
accessible to the Internet is by using the Port Forwarding
feature found in most Ethernet Routers and Firewalls.
The Conguration page - Scroll to the
top of the Main User page and click the
Conguration button. This screen is
where you get to setup some options
for the network operation.
Dynamic versus Static IP Address
– This is pretty basic; a Dynamic IP
address changes every time you log
onto the network, a Static IP address
always stays the same. A good example
of a dynamic IP address is your standard Internet access. Your
computer gets a dierent IP address assigned to it every time
you connect. A network installation using Dynamic IP address
requires a dedicated device known as a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Control Protocol) server to assign the IP addresses from a pool of
available addresses as each network device logs on. For an au-
tomation system we really recommend using a Static IP address
setup. This makes it simple to always know what address to nd
a particular device, such as the Architect amplier.
