Reset IP Address If you change the default address and forget what it is later on, you can always reset the ICE-HE back to the default settings using the unit’s front-panel DIP switch 2. While the power is on, flip the switch off, then back on to reset the IP address. -

Tip:You've probably figured out that you never want to assign a virtual device number to an actual device in the system. If you assigned #1536 to a device, all the TV controllers in Zone 6 would respond every time you sent a command to that one device. Contemporary Research ICE-HE Ethernet Head End... -

Page 19: Rf Channel Frequencies
HRC/IRC — About 10% of CATV systems use these alternate frequency plans, created to reduce “beat” interference. FCC – U.S. Broadcast VHF/UHF *Channel 1 — IRC/HRC spacing created a Channel 1 between 4 and 5, the rarely used channel must be shifted to different frequency for IC-Net operation Contemporary Research ICE-HE Ethernet Head End...
