4.4 Provisioning the VE Control Unit
This chapter describes how to set the basic parameters required for operation and remote
management of the Master VCU using the Web GUI. The configuration dialogs are fully
described in Chapter 6 .
The Master or Slave mode is automatically detected according to the VCU's physical connection.
If a connection to another VCU is detected, the VCU will be identified as a Slave, otherwise it will
assume the role of a Master.
Notes:
1. The initial configuration of the Master VCU is performed via local connection using a cross-
cable and connecting to VCUs default IP address. After performing the initial configuration
and assigning the Master VCU an IP address, the system can be connected, monitored, and
configured via a remote management connection.
2. The configuration and management of all of the system units (VCUs and VAPs) is performed
via local or remote connection to the Master VCU unit.
4.4.1 Configure the Computer IP Parameters
Configure the computer local LAN connection to operate in the same subnet as the default VCU
IP address. Note that the procedure may vary slightly depending on the operating system
