  • Page 11: Confi Guring The Ip Address

    CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Setting the IP Address The Mini PACS is designed to control devices over a network using a built-in Web server or via Telnet. Before using Telnet control or the built-in Web Server, the network settings for the Mini PACS must be confi gured via IP. Before connecting the Mini PACS to a network, locate the label on the bottom of the Mini PACS.
  • Page 12 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS If you computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.(x), and 192.168.1.72 is an available address, you can access the Mini PACS by entering 192.168.1.72 in your Web browser. Otherwise use the following procedure to change the Mini PACS IP address to match your network: Access the Network Setting control panel in Windows and locate your LAN connection.
  • Page 13 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Click on the Properties button to display the Local Area Connection Properties dialog. Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click to highlight this Network protocol. Click the Properties button to display the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/ IPv4) Properties dialog.
  • Page 14 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS STOP: Write down the current IP settings before making changes, since you will need to restore the old settings later. If the Properties are set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, you do not need the actual address settings.
  • Page 15 CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS Click the OK button, then close all Control Panel windows. Refresh your Web browser and go to http://192.168.1.72 to open the Mini PACS Web Server. Go to the Confi guration Menu (see page 33) and change the Mini PACS IP address to an appropriate address for your network.

  • Page 16: Web Interface

    WEB INTERFACE The Built-in Web Server The Mini PACS includes a built-in Web server which provides an intuitive Web interface. If TCP/IP is not confi gured on the Mini PACS, then see page 7 for details on confi guring the Mini PACS. If the Mini PACS is already confi gured for use on a network, then open a Web browser and type in the IP address of the Mini PACS.

    APPENDIX Controlling the Mini PACS via RS-232 The Mini PACS is generally intended to be controlled via IP, in order to control RS-232, IR, and trigger-operated devices that are connected to it. Under some circumstances, it may be useful to control the Mini PACS via an RS-232 port, such as to use the Mini PACS as an RS-232-to-IR or RS-232-to-trigger converter or if it is more convenient to use an RS-232 connection than an IP connection for confi...

  • Page 82: Learning Ir Commands Via Telnet

    APPENDIX Learning IR Commands via Telnet The Mini PACS has eight (3) IR Emitter outputs. Each of these IR Emitters can be connected to device. The Mini PACS can learn new IR commands and then send the learned IR command to any or all of the devices at once. The Mini PACS can store commands for up to 20 devices.
  • Page 83 APPENDIX NOTE: If the Mini PACS is unable to validate the IR command, the Mini PACS will prompt you to repeat steps 4 and 5. If the IR command data is valid, then the IR command will be saved to memory. The Mini PACS will ignore IR data that cannot be validated.
