VNM EC 201 • Setup Guide (Continued)
Initial EC 201 Installation and Configuration
Step 1 — Determine the Network Settings
Before any device is connected to a network, the default network settings of each device must be changed. On an existing
network, check with the network administrator for a range of available IP addresses.
On a closed network used exclusively for VN-Matrix devices, it is recommended to use addresses within the range of
192.168.254.1 through 192.168.254.253 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Figure 2 shows an addressing scheme for a simple system containing a VNM Enterprise Controller, an encoder, and a decoder.

VN Matrix System
Map your system IP addresses for all connected devices and write them down.
Step 2 — Install and Configure the VN-Matrix Devices
See the setup guide included with each device. Connect each VN-Matrix device to the control PC, one at a time, and power the
device on. Configure the network settings according to your IP address map. DO NOT use 192.168.254.254. The system
above can be used as a guide for configuring network settings.
Once the new IP address for a device is entered, it can remain connected to the LAN and powered on.
Step 3 — Connect the VNM Enterprise Controller 201 to the VN-Matrix Network
On the rear panel of the EC 201, connect the network to LAN A (see figure 1,
twisted pair cable.
NOTE:
The LAN B Ethernet connector is not required for normal operation.
Step 4 — Power on the VNM Enterprise Controller 201
Connect a standard IEC power cord to the controller and to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power source. The controller
powers up when an AC source is connected.
Step 5 — Configure the Network Settings of the VNM Enterprise Controller 201
The VNM Enterprise Controller 201 is preconfigured with the following network settings:
•
192.168.254.254
IP address:
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
With these settings, the VN-Matrix devices must use IP addresses within the range of 192.168.254.1 through
NOTE:
192.168.254.253 and the same subnet mask. The example in figure 2 uses the default settings of the VNM EC 201.
