When purchasing the Board, the user will find the jumpers properly located in their places by default. The advice is not to change the place of the jumpers and do not remove it unless the user has a definite need to do so.

    IP ADDRESS: This represents the IP address of the SC-MB card. This will be 198.168.1.150 for a standalone SC-MB. You are free to change this number if you wish, but remember that the Network ID of the IP addresses in the network must be the same for communication to be possible. We recommend not changing the default IP addresses of Plug&Fly modules because it will affect native configuration with ProSim and OrbitXP.

    You could also open the back-metal cover of the Motherboard and press the physical RESET button for at least 10 seconds. For this to have any effect, the SC-MB must be connected to a power supply. Both of these methods erase the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).

    Network ID as the Mother Board. Therefore, we must proceed to temporarily change the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.200. Remember the IP of your computer, in order to change it back later. 3. Then we can access the CONFIG PAGE of the SC-MB. Enter the IP address for the SC-MB in your browser. E.g.
  • Page 17 Every SC-MB and Computer has at least one Ethernet Port. We will use these to connect to the local network. In the case of having four elements to the Network (two SC-MB and two computers), each of these must be connected via an Ethernet cable to a SWITCH; HUB or ROUTER (with a program called Autosense). This connection will permit communication between the modules.

    (i.e. ProSim or iFly). HARDWARE TEST Sismo Soluciones has used SC-Pascal programming language for its development. This board can be controlled with any programming language given a previous configuration of the board (see jumpers section above), however, in this manual we concern ourselves exclusively with the necessary requirements to control the board with the SC-Pascal editor/compiler, and this solution will be fully adequate for users who are interacting with a flight simulator.

  • Page 22 All of these software solutions are compatible with our SC-MB. The only condition to be able to use these solutions is to follow the contact map (aka Wiring Schedule) of our Plug&Fly modules.
  • Page 23 ¿? #Can I use this SC-MB Card with modules from different companies? Yes, Our SimCard Ethernet would be suitable for connecting modules you already have and Sismo-Modules, but you need to be aware of the following: We provide the scripts for iFly and ProSim free of charge, and if you follow our contact map (following the structure of our plug and fly modules), programming will not be necessary because as long as you place the wires in the correct place of the Motherboard, the scripts will work.
