Lan Connections; Creating A New Lan Connection - MCi iControl User Manual

LAN Connections

In most installations, there will be at least one iView PC continuously connected to the Local
Area Network on which the iBox controllers reside. LAN TCP/IP addresses and associated set-
tings for any hubs, routers, or other equipment involved are resolved when network equipment
is installed. In these instances, the iView PC is already connected through the network to the
controllers.

Creating a New LAN Connection

A controller connection must be created before it appears in the iView Connections folder. This
is typically completed at the factory, before the system is shipped (if your PC was purchased
through MCE). Creating a new LAN connection is similar to creating a new Direct connection.
To create a LAN connection:
1. Double-click on the iView icon on your computer screen to launch iView.
2. Click File on the menu bar.
3. Select Connection and click New to open the Connection dialog.
4. Type in a name for the connection.
5. Enter the Ip Address, the controllers
#1 (LAN) Ethernet port address. The

refer to "System, LAN, & 3=PC TCP/
IP Addresses" on page 8-4
factory default settings.
6. Select Controller/Simplex.
7. Click OK. The Save As dialog opens.
