IP Substations

Getting Started

The information in this document pertains to the
following STENTOFON IP Substations:

IP Substation
1 Installation
The table below is an overview of the main connectors
involved when installing the IP Substations.
LAN 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port for LAN (uplink) connection.
Supports PoE (802.3af). Draws power from either spare
line or signal line.
AUX 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports for auxiliary equipment such as
PC and IP camera.
Input/Output Pluggable screw terminal
Local Power Pluggable screw terminal, 19-27 VDC Idle 4W, max. 8W

Power Supply

The IP Substation supports Power over Ethernet (PoE,
IEEE 802.3 a-f) where power can be drawn from either
the spare line or signal line. If PoE is not available,
the IP Substation can be connected to a local 24 VDC
power supply.
1.2 Network Connection
There are two RJ45 ports on the IP Substation:
● LAN port is for connecting to the network and the
AlphaCom server/exchange.
● AUX port is for connecting to auxiliary equipment
such as a PC.

2 Configuration
A web browser is used for the configuration of the IP
Substation.

For substation configuration, there are essentially three
parameters to set:

● Station IP address
2.1 IP Substation Web Interface
The IP Substation features an embedded web server,
which allows users to log in via a standard web
browser. At commissioning, the IP substation needs to
be configured to enable it to subscribe to an AlphaCom
server/exchange. To do this, your PC and the IP
substation have to be connected together via a PoE
switch using network cables:
● Connect the PC to the PoE switch
● Connect the LAN port on the IP substation to the
PoE switch
The factory default IP address of the substation is
169.254.1.100. In order for your PC to communicate
with the substation it is necessary to change its
Internet Protocol Properties to use an IP address
that is in the same range as 169.254.1.100, e.g.
169.254.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
After the IP properties have been changed, access the
substation by logging into the web interface using a
standard web browser:
1. Open a web browser
2. In the browser's address bar, type the default IP
address 169.254.1.100 and press the ENTER key
- The substation login page will be displayed.
