Worldcast Systems EQUINOX Quick Start Manual

WORLDCAST EQUINOX QUICK START GUIDE

1. Connecting to CMS/NMS

1. Before you begin, ensure that you have both units connected to a hub and PC first before deploying on live
networks.
2. Configure each unit separately as all units are shipped from APT with the same IP address. If two pieces of
equipment are deployed on the same IP address, this could cause an IP addressing conflict.
3. Connect your Equinox to your switch/router/network via the LAN port on the back of the unit with an Ethernet
cable (see connection diagram on the last page of this quick start guide).
4. Insert the APT CD in your CD drive to install the WorldNet CMS/NMS application. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
3. Launch the WorldNet CMS/NMS software. Default login and password are: administrator and password.
4. Select "Add Unit" from the top left hand side of the screen
5. Type the address of the unit you wish to add. By default all new units will be shipped with the address
192.168.100.110
6. Alternatively, you can perform a network scan by clicking the purple "Net Wizard" icon
scan for all available units in the IP address range.
2. Setting the IP address of the WorldCast Equinox
1. The default IP address is 192.168.100.110. You will need to reset it.
2. Once you have established the connection with your Equinox, double click on the unit in the tree view.
3. Click the Sys button.
4. Select the "NMS IP Interface" tab.
5. Update network settings as necessary.
6. Click the "Configure" button to save your changes.
7. The Equinox will temporarily disconnect from the CMS/NMS application & reboot. The application will then re-
establish the connection automatically. This may take up to 1 minute.
