Local Area Network (Lan) Settings; Lan Configuration Via Control Unit - Pliant Crewcom CCU-22 Operating Manual

Local Area Network (LAN) Settings

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a system that allows each component on a computer network to
automatically obtain the network address information required for Network Interface Devices to communicate with
one another. The CrewCom system can utilize DHCP if it is enabled on your Local Area Network (LAN). To use DHCP,
the CrewCom Control Unit will need to be configured as a DHCP client. If DHCP is not enabled on your LAN, then the
CrewCom system can be configured to use static IP Addresses. After the CrewCom system is fully booted-up, and the
Control Unit is assigned an IP Address (either through DHCP or manually), CrewWare can connect to the Control Unit.

LAN Configuration via Control Unit

The following settings and processes can be found in the Control Unit's menu under LAN Settings . When changing
LAN settings from the CU front panel, a reboot is required before operation. After making a change to any LAN setting,
a screen will display the progress of the save action, and you will be prompted to restart the Master CU.
TCP/IP Mode
Select either DHCP Client or Manual .
DHCP Client: Enables automatic LAN communication for the Control Unit. In this mode, when the CU is
l
powered on, it automatically receives an IP Address from the DHCP server. Once booted, use this assigned IP
address in CrewWare's Login window to connect CrewWare to your Control Unit.
Manual : You'll be required to manually set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway between your
l
PC and CU to meet the needs of your LAN installation.
