AEQ NETBOX DSP User Manual page 26

"Connection" section allows you to configure the parameters to connect to the unit. Firstly, the
IP address of the equipment must be configured (by default, NETBOX 32 units are supplied
with 172.31.37.1 control IP address, NETBOX 8 with 172.31.38.1 control IP address and
NETBOX DSP with 172.31.50.1 control IP address) and the Port the connection will be
established through (IP). Where there is more than one unit with the same IP in the same
network, you should connect to each one of them individually and change their address in order
to avoid network conflicts.
In order to connect to the unit by means of "AEQ NetBox Tool" application, either of the two
Ethernet ports can be used, as both share the same control IP address. There are 2
exceptions to this rule (see section 4.8.3.6 of the AEQ AoIP user's manual):
- In case that the unit is configure in "Redundant-control-only-primary" mode by means
of "Dante Controller" application (available mode for AoIP firmware version 4.0.4.22 or
higher) LAN 1 should be used in order to establish connection by means of "AEQ
NetBox Tool": this mode configures the device as redundant at Dante level but the
control of the unit at local level can be accomplished only through upper Ethernet port.
- In case that the unit is configure in "Primary&Control" mode by means of "Dante
Controller" application (available mode for AoIP firmware version 4.0.9.2 or higher) LAN
2 should be used in order to establish connection by means of "AEQ NetBox Tool": this
mode separates Dante primary network (accesed only through upper Ethernet port) and
local control network (accesed only through lower Ethernet port).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In case you don't know the IP address of the unit, there is a procedure
(included in the "Extras" menu of the CD furnished with the unit) that allows you to return to
default configuration in order to control the unit again.
NOTE: The "Port" drop-down menu allows you to select that connection would be established
through a serial port, but only for maintenance purposes and under AEQ's Technical Support
supervision (sat@aeq.es).
When the unit is correctly detected, the configuration buttons will appear activated (the
"Connect" button allows you to force the connection, although where there is communication
with the unit that connection is established automatically).
