ETHERNET SETUP

Once all of the cabling has been run and all connec-
tions have been made, it is now necessary to setup
the Quantum™ LX software to recognize and handle
the Ethernet connection.

IP DATA

Address Type - The following drop-down menu is
provided:
• Fixed (Static) – A fixed address is usually
assigned by the network (LAN) administra-
tor, and is normally always the same.
• DHCP (Dynamic) – Dynamic Host Configu-
ration Protocol permits auto-assignment
of temporary IP addresses for new devices
connecting to the network.
IP Address – (Internet Protocol) Four setpoint boxes
are provided here. Every device on an Internet or
Ethernet network must be assigned a unique identi-
fying number, called an IP Address (this is similar in
concept to the Quantum™ LX panel ID number). The
IP address is how the network identifies each device
that is attached. A typical IP address would look like
this:
• 216.27.61.137
Gateway Address – Four setpoint boxes are provided
here. This is the IP address for the computer or device
onto which your local network is connected to. This
gateway device is how all of the devices attached to
your local network are routed to other gateways and
networks. A router is a Gateway device that routes
packets between different physical networks. A gate-
way is a network point that acts as an entrance to

COMMUNICATIONS SETUP
The following section describes the suggested panel
setup for connecting the Quantum™ LX panel to an
existing Ethernet connection:
another network.
Subnet Mask - A TCP/IP number used to determine
to which TCP/IP subnet a device belongs. Devices in
the same subnet can be communicated with locally
without going through a router When a TCP/IP device
tries to communicate with another device the bits of
the TCP/IP destination address are "ANDed" with the
subnet mask to determine whether the address is
a local address (broadcastable) or must be reached
through a router. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 used
by a computer with a TCP/IP address of 10.10.10.1
would include the addresses 10.10.10.0 through
10.10.10.255 in the local network basically telling the
computer to try a router if it's transmitting to any
other IP address. This is all part of the TCP/IP protocol
Web Server Port – This is the port, or channel, that
a web server uses to communicate through. Just as
a computer sends data to a printer through a printer
port, a web server sends and receives data through
the Web Server Port. By default, the port number for
a Web server is 80.

NAMING DATA

NOTE: The IP Address Type must be set to DHCP (Dy-
namic) for this section to work.
Host Name – Enter a distinct name that you wish to
be able to identify this particular Air Handler by (for
example; Unit1). The Host Name must be fifteen char-
