IP Futura module
In an IP system there are two options
IP-L
IP-r
IP-L allows you to fix an IP address into the controller, which you would use when you are connecting the controllers onto a customer’s
local area network. This would allow the customer to view each controller using Internet Explorer
IP-r allows you to give each controller on the system a unique number. This number is then allocated a dynamic IP address by the
system DHCP server (such as the RDM Data Manager or Data Director)
IP-L
To configure the communication module for IP-L, set all three rotary switches to zero. The module should then be connected to the
controller.
