Room Alert Signal Tower
Step 3: Discovery And Network Settings
Once the Room Alert Signal Tower unit has been properly installed according to Step 2 above, open
the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility and click the 'Search' button. The AVTECH Device Discovery
Utility will attempt to discover the Room Alert Signal Tower unit connected to your network by sending
out a UDP broadcast on UDP port 30718.
NOTE: If there are multiple Ethernet adapters on the computer that the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility is installed on, a
dialog will display asking for the proper network to perform the search on. Make the correct selection and then continue.
The Room Alert Signal Tower unit is initially set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. If
you do not have DHCP on your network, please see the 'Static-Only Networks' section below.
The Room Alert Signal Tower unit connected to your network should appear in the AVTECH Device Discovery
Utility window as illustrated above. This will normally take just a few seconds. If the IP address displayed is
'169.xxx.xxx.xxx' and the 'Name' is displayed as 'Unknown' or if the Room Alert Signal Tower unit was not
found, please see the 'Device Not Found Or Invalid IP Address' subsection below before continuing.
Once the Room Alert Signal Tower unit is displayed, select it from the list to perform an action on it.
Selecting multiple units will cause the action selected to be performed on multiple units (i.e. all selected units)
simultaneously.
The 'Set IP' button is used to assign a static IP address, gateway IP address, subnet
mask and DNS server IP address or to set the Room Alert Signal Tower unit back to
DHCP (0.0.0.0). If the 'Set IP' button is pressed without a specific Room Alert Signal
Tower unit selected in the AVTECH Device Discovery Utility, a prompt will display asking for the MAC
address of the unit. This option can be used in conjunction with the MAC address listed on the bottom of
the Room Alert Signal Tower unit to attempt IP address assignment of a unit that cannot be located or
has previously been obtained or assigned an incorrect IP address.
