System Ethernet

Only MCE equipment (iCue, iControl, MCE serial drivers) should be connected to the System
hub. The TCP/IP addresses for the iBox #2 (System) and iCue System ports are set at the fac-
tory so that the systems will communicate with one another as soon as they are plugged in.

LAN Ethernet

The iCue PC or iBox and the elevator controller iBoxes are also connected to the LAN hub. The
LAN hub is provided so that you can connect a PC running iView, which will then be able to
access all the iCue and iControl hardware connected to the hub. The TCP/IP addresses for the
LAN network (iView connection) are set at the factory. If your iView PC was provided by MCE,
you can simply connect the iBoxes, the iCue, and the iView PC to the hub and they are ready to
communicate. However, if you provided the PC, you will need to set its IP address properly to
communicate through the hub.

Setting iView PC LAN IP Addresses

To set the IP address for an iView PC you provided and want to connect to the iCue LAN hub,
use the instructions below. These instructions assume you have not changed the factory-default
settings for the iCue or iBox LAN ports. When setting IP Addresses on a PC, do not enter lead-
ing zeros (i.e., .020 is entered as .20).
The following example is for the Windows XP operating system.
1. Start the PC.
2. Select Control Panel from the Windows XP Start menu.
3. Double-click Network and Internet Connections to open the Network and Internet Con-
nections dialog.
4. Double-click Network Connections to open the Network Connections dialog.
