Bui ld New Configuration (from NoConfig State)
This overall procedure is made up of the next several smaller procedures.

The IP address settings of each CEM+ module must point to each other in order for the

From the Set Group / Rack menu, specify:
• Group - Specifies a selection of racks that share a common config and relay preset,

1-16. All Groups must start with Rack 1.
• Network Enable - Makes the specified unit active in the network table.
• IP address - Specifies the IP address for the CEM+ you are using (the local CEM+).
• Subnet Mask - Specifies the subnet mask for the CEM+ you are using (the local
CEM+).
• Gateway IP - Specifies the gateway IP address for the CEM+ you are using (the local
CEM+).
This must be done for each CEM+ module. It works best if the IP addresses adhere to the
default IP address scheme:

Once the racks have all been assigned their group and rack numbers, login to Rack #1 and
confirm that the IP addresses that Rack #1 has for each of the other racks matches what
was set for each of the previous racks.
To change the entire network table at once from the web interface, set the Group and Rack
numbers and click Restore Defaults. This will repopulate the network table with the default
addresses.
