INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Final System Installation
CXPS Manual Edition 1.08 Installation 29
default setting for 10/100T Ethernet control of the CXPS. RS-232 control is used to
determine the dynamic IP address of the CXPS.
• 10/100 T Ethernet Only—This is a simpler method than control by 10/100 T Ethernet
and RS-232, but it requires that a static IP address be assigned to the CXPS and to the
control computer. A static IP address is where a computer uses the same address every
time a user logs on to a network. By default, the CXPS is configured with a dynamic IP
address.
The type of IP address for the control computer depends upon whether the computer is
connected directly to the CXPS Ethernet connector, or if it is connected via a network:
If the computer controlling the CXPS is a client assigned to a larger network, the
network administrator will need to assign the static IP address to the control computer
and CXPS. If the static IP address of the CXPS is unknown, it can be accessed via the
RS-232 interface using the SHOWNET command. The RS-232 controls must be used for
initial set-up of the CXPS IP address, and thereafter will no longer be required.
• Web-Server GUI and RS-232 Control—This method uses a web-server GUI rather
than Telnet commands to control the CXPS over a network. In this instance, the control
computer is a client on a larger network which uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. The
web-server GUI within the CXPS is invoked by opening a web browser on the control
computer (Black Diamond Video recommends Mozilla Firefox) and entering the IP
address of the CXPS into the address bar of the browser. This will bring you to the GUI
log-in page.
• Web-Server GUI without RS-232 Control—With this method, a “static” IP address is
assigned to the CXPS and the control computer. A web-browser (Black Diamond Video
recommends Mozilla Firefox) is opened and the static IP address of the CXPS is entered
into the address bar of the browser. This is the easiest method for controlling the CXPS.
RS-232 ONLY
1 Connect the control computer to the RS-232 connector on the CXPS using an RS-232
direct-connect type cable.
2 Open up a serial port terminal on the control computer connected to the CXPS.
