    1. Introduction The Compack controller is a powerful and cost-effective module, developed for monitoring and controlling Eltek Valere’s Micropack DC power supply systems, which are DIN rail mounted and suitable in low power applications. The controller is also used in larger Eltek Valere’s Compack-based power systems.

  • Page 8: The Compack Controller

    2. The Compack Controller The Compack controller is a DIN rail mounted monitoring and control unit used in the Eltek Valere’s Micropack DC power systems. The controller is also used in larger Eltek Valere’s Compack-based power systems. It monitors and controls the whole system, and implements several network protocols for local and remote system configuration via Web browser and existing network management system (NMS).

  • Page 16: Networking The Compack Controller

    Controller Access — Via Ethernet LAN If you have access to a Local Area Network (LAN) — based on the Ethernet communication technique and the TCP/IP protocol suite — you can simply connect the Compack controller to the LAN, and get Web browser access to the controller from your networked computer.

  • Page 17: More Detailed

    LAN. 2. Connect the Compack controller to the LAN plugging one end of a standard Ethernet cable (straight through Ethernet cable) to the controller’s RJ-45 socket on its top, and the other end to one of the LAN’s available RJ-45 sockets. See “Figure 8”, page 16. The controller automatically obtains an IP address from the LAN server, as the controller’s DHCP protocol is enabled from factory.
  • Page 18 3. Identify the controller in the “Eltek Valere Network Utility” program by looking for your Compack controller’s MAC address on the list of connected LAN devices. All controllers are shipped with a label specifying its unique MAC address. Check that the displayed MAC address corresponds to the MAC address label on the controller Note that it can take up to 1 minute before the connected controller is displayed in the utility program.

  • Page 20: In Short

    In Short To get access to the Compack controller via a stand-alone computer, just connect the controller directly to the computer’s NIC, using a standard Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable. The controller and the computer will assign themselves a random IP address. E.g. the controller may get <0.0.0.1> and the computer <169.254.52.132>.
  • Page 21 2. Connect the computer to the Compack controller and check its MAC address plugging one end of the Ethernet cable to the controller’s RJ-45 socket on its top, and the other end to the computer’s NIC. The controller automatically generates an IP address, e.g. <0.0.0.1>, and the Eltek Valere Network Utility displays the controller as a connected LAN device (may take up to 1 minute to display).
  • Page 22 4. Change the controller’s IP address to the same range as the computer’s by, — Selecting the controller in the Eltek Valere Network Utility window — Clicking on the Configuration button, to open the “IPSetup Configuration” window — Changing the IP address from, e.g. <0.0.0.1> to e.g. <169.254.52.133> — Changing the Network Mask from, e.g.
