Initial Setup

MAKING FIRST CONTACT

The One-Net and DASDEC platforms contain an embedded web server that allows
you to effectively communicate with the EAS platform via a standard web browser.
Changes to configurations/control settings, initiating EAS alerts, and viewing EAS alerts
are all performed through familiar web browsers such as Apple Safari, Google Chrome,
Microsoft Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox. You will connect to the same network as the EAS
device, launch a web browser, and input the devices' IP address.
To be on the same network as the EAS device, a customer-supplied laptop or desktop
computer must be physically networked to the EAS device.
• This initial contact is necessary to make changes to the network settings within the
EAS device so they correspond with your facilities' computer network addressing
scheme.
• Once the EAS devices' network address is configured to match those of your
facility, the EAS device will be accessible by authorized users within your computer
network.
• During this first log in, the system requires you to change the default password.
Physical connections to the EAS device can be done in two ways:
1. A direct connection
2. By means of a network hub or switch
In both scenarios, the EAS device and customer-supplied computer are linked via their
associated network interface ports by standard CAT-5/5e or CAT-6 cables with RJ45
(8P8C) connectors. Below are examples of what these physical connections look like,
and a description on how to network these two devices.
Once the EAS device is correctly wired:
1. Turn on the EAS device by pressing and releasing the power switch (5) on the upper
right side of the back panel.
2. The LCD screen will light during the power on.
3. Allow the device time to boot. (See the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) section for
complete startup sequence.)
4. On the front panel, a solid green System Status LED indicates when the system is
completely booted and ready.
5. The first line of the LCD screen should display OneNet: ON or DASDEC:ON, followed
by the devices' IP address.
6. The IP address of each new EAS device is set to 192.168.0.200.
