INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Final System Installation
32 Installation Edition 1.08 CXPS Manual
The static IP address of the control computer is set.
4 Click Start and navigate to All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
The Command Prompt window appears.
5 Enter the command telnet <IP address> 8998 using the IP address assigned to the
CXPS in Step 2 above.
Telnet control is established. See Appendix A, “RS-232 and 10/100T Protocol,” for a list of
commands and how they are used to control the CXPS.
Because the CXPS now has a static IP address, the RS-232 interface is no longer required. If
the IP address of the CXPS is misplaced, simply reconnect the RS-232 controls and use the
SHOWNET command to retrieve the IP address.
The final system installation process is complete.
WEB-SERVER GUI AND RS-232
1 Download Java software onto the RS-232 control computer:
a
Open your web browser and go to www.java.com.
Download the appropriate version for your operating system.
b Black Diamond Video supports Java Applet versions up to 5.0.
2 (Recommended) Download and install the Mozilla Firefox web browser onto the control
computer from www.mozilla.com/firefox/.
3 Connect the control computer directly to the CXPS with an RS-232 direct-connect type
cable and a 10/100T Ethernet crossover cable.
4 From the RS-232 control computer, determine the CXPS IP address:
a
Establish RS-232 control of the CXPS as described in “RS-232 Only” on page 29.
b Enter the command: SHOWNET (see Appendix A, “RS-232 and 10/100T Protocol,” for
details).
The CXPS IP address is returned.
5 Open the Firefox web browser on the control computer and enter the IP address
obtained in Step 4 into the browser address bar.
The GUI is initiated and control of the CXPS is now done through the GUI.
WEB-SERVER GUI ONLY
1 Download Java software onto the RS-232 control computer:
NOTE:
If the CXPS is powered off for several days, when the equipment is
powered back on, the DHCP server within the network may issue a new IP
address. If this happens, web-server GUI control can only be restarted by
beginning at Step 3 and determining the new IP address using the RS-232
SHOWNET command again.
