T*AP
getting started – basic X*AP Remote Panel operation
The communication interface of the T*AP is based on TCP/IP over Ethernet. The X*AP Remote Panel as well
as the Base Unit must have unique IP addresses in order to "talk" to each other as well as to other devices
within the Local Area Network. An X*AP Remote Panel may for now control up to 4 Base Units, one at a time.
If the X*AP Remote Panel is attached mechanically to a Base Unit it should be connected via the Ethernet
socket on the front panel of the Base Unit. If the X*AP Remote Panel is detached from the Base Unit, one
may use the CAT5 cabling of a facility or the OB-Van to connect it to the distant Base Units front socket in
order to get power. If it must be connected via a router of the network, this router must have a POE (Power
Over Ethernet) port. If this is not the case, you must use a wall plug POE power supply.
After power up and booting, the X*AP Remote Panel shows the T*AP Base Units which are "attached" to it.
The display shows the respective device "Name", the IP address and the connect "Status".
Options are "connect", "can't connect" and "unknown device". In case of "connect" you may press one of the
highlighted buttons.
If you press
the <F-Key> the X*AP Remote Panel will connect with that Base Unit.
(The above example has just one T*AP Base Unit attached for remote control ). Now the X*AP Remote
Panel will gather all necessary information from that Base Unit (may take a few seconds) and open up the
main operating display :
Because this is the main operating display, the <ESC> button light red to indicate that the power up display is
above the main display. Pressing <ESC> returns you back to the device selection.
getting started – IP setup in general
The process of installing a T*AP into an IP network is as follows :
You have 2 choices to assign the Base Unit an IP address :
! Important Note:
1. Ask the system service people for two unique IP addresses of the network,
netmask and gateway address
2. Assign the Base Unit an IP address
3. Assign the X*AP Remote Panel an IP address
4. Attach the Base Unit to the X*AP Remote Panel
* From the serial console interface
* Via Web browser
If you are not familiar with setting up devices for IP communication, we highly
recommend you consult your system service or IT department to assist you.
