Overview
The Vantage IP Enabler gives the Vantage Master Controller an
Ethernet port. This allows a computer to connect to the Master
Controller through a local area network, or even through the
Internet. Both QLink and WebPoint can then access the
Vantage system through the IP Enabler's IP address. This
ability can be used to remotely control or program a system. It
is also useful in locations where the computer is too far from
the Master Controller for conventional RS-232, or in locations
where no extra wires exist for RS-232, but Ethernet
connections are present.

Ethernet Setup
The IP Enabler Installer is used to setup the IP Enabler initially.
This software is found on the CD in the IP Enabler folder or on
the internet at www.vantagecontrols.com.

it. If Microsoft .NET Framework is not installed, follow the
prompts to install it first. Once the Installer.msi has
completed click on Installer, under Start Menu, Programs,
Installer. A window will appear with several buttons near the
top.
2. Click on the button titled Search*. A list of Ethernet to Serial
devices will appear.
3. Verify the Hardware MAC address of the IP Enabler you are
working with. The Hardware MAC address is on the white
label, on the side of the IP Enabler.
4. Highlight the IP Enabler that shows the correct Hardware
MAC address.
5. Write down the IP Address of the device for later use.
6. Press the button titled Web. An Internet Browser window
will appear with some menu buttons down the left side.

*Note: After clicking Search if No devices were found error
displays or IP Enabler's Status in Installer is Unreachable,
the IP address must be changed. Follow these steps
carefully to correctly configure IP Enabler to have an Online
status on the network. Skip to step 9 to get the correct IP
Address information for your local network/computer, then
come back to this note. In this example the IP address of the
local computer is 192.168.11.151. The first three parts of this

7. address are, 192.168.11.. Assume the IP Address of IP Enabler
is 127.0.0.1, the IP address of IP Enabler must be changed so
that the first three parts match the network/computer IP
Address. In this example, change the IP Address of IP
Enabler from 127.0.0.1, to 192.168.11.124. Before assigning
the new IP Address, verify the IP Address to be assigned is a
free address. Test the IP Address on the local
network/computer, in the Installer program, by clicking on
Ping. In the Ping Device window type the number
192.168.11.124 and click the Ping button. A few seconds later
a report is generated in the Ping Device window. If the
report has timed out and 100% loss of packets is returned
the IP Address is free. With the device highlighted, click on
Action | Assign IP Address.... The following window is
opened.
Change the IP Address of the IP Enabler from 127.0.0.1, to
192.168.11.124 and click OK. If the device is not seen, click
on Action | Assign IP Address.... Type the MAC address of
the IP Enabler in the Hardware Address: box, then type
192.168.11.124 in the IP Address to assign: box and click OK.
Wait for the IP Enabler to reboot before continuing with
Web in step 6.
TIP: If the note above does not work try the following. If
more than one computer is on the network, and that
computer is on a different router. Install Installer.msi on that
computer and follow these same instructions. Often a
different computer is able to see the device.
8. Click on the Server Properties button to enter the network
properties. The window will change to display the server
properties. This is where you choose the Ethernet settings
for the IP Enabler.
9. In the IP Address window, type the number you recorded
from step 5.
10. Click on the Window's Start button (lower left side of
screen) and select Run. Type in cmd and press enter. A DOS
prompt will appear. Type in ipconfig. A list of addresses will
appear. Included in this list are the addresses for the Subnet
Mask and the Gateway Address.
11. Set the second field to the network Subnet Mask.
12. Set the third field to the Network Gateway Address.
13. The fourth field, titled Telnet Password can be left at
default.
