2.15 Configuration Programming Via A Browser
The CPM-4 and DSP-2 modules have front panel Ethernet ports that may be used for basic IP
and VOIP configuration. Browse to the IP address of the module and view or change
configuration settings as described in the sections that follow. DSP modules used in standalone
mode may be configured via the Ethernet port, but if the DSP is being used in any other mode,
either the ACU Controller or WAIS Controller tools must be used to make adjustments that
affect audio levels, VOX functions, COR functions, noise reduction, equalizer, and audio delay
functions which affect the performance of the external 4-wire audio device connected to the
DB-15 backplane connector for each module.
2.15.1 CPM-4 Configuration Programming via Browser
The CPM module’s Ethernet port allows the ACU-1000 to be connected directly to an IP-Based
network for remote control by the ACU Controller program, the WAIS Controller, or to be
configured by a web browser program as explained in this section.
To change the CPM system configuration settings, the user must connect the CPM to the user’s
Ethernet LAN via the front panel RJ-45 Ethernet connector, via a standard “straight” Ethernet
CAT5 cable to a switch or router which is also connected to a PC with network access to the
same switch or router. Alternatively the user may connect the Ethernet port of the CPM module
directly to the computer’s Ethernet port via an Ethernet “crossover” cable.
The user must browse (using a web browser such as the Internet Explorer) to the IP address of
the CPM. The default address of the CPM as shipped from the factory is 192.168.1.200. This
IP address may be changed to comply with the user’s network requirements.
