IP addresses to computers on a local area network. To be deactivated or the IP addresses will change! Script A program which controls the SC-MB and allows the user to assign the functions of one of the Plug&Fly Modules (AFT, FWD, etc.) to the Motherboard. Add-on Company ProSim, iFLy, PMDG.
PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT To describe the method of configuration of Simcard Motherboards. Any client who owns an SC-MB, or a product which contains one (including the Plug and Fly Modules), must read this manual in order to configure their modules.
Other recommendations: 1. Download the latest free Build of the SC-Pascal editor/compiler (download section from Sismo Web). A powerful hardware testing tool. 2. With older versions of our products, you may need to install the latest version of “FSUIPC” for FSX or P3D.

5V CC. In the SC-MB Simcards family. There are 4 types of JUMPERS. Each one has a specific function. 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.
192.168.1.101 this is your control computer IP. Leave the automatic Subnet Mask value. In the third box you must write an IP with the same Network ID: 192.168.1.1. 2. Type the IP address SC-MB into your usual internet browser (192.168.1.150 BY DEFAULT). The CONFIG PAGE will appear.
7. You will see the name of your SC-MB card appear in SC-Pascal. 8. See information below for testing the hardware. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION FOR BEGINNERS Sismo’s Ethernet Boards work in a Local Area Network (LAN). Every device in a LAN has an IP address, it looks like this: 192.168.1.150...

Note: It’s essential to disable the DHCP on the computers that you are going to connect with SC-Pascal scripts to avoid IP address conflicts. SC-MB Ethernet Configuration User Manual SC-MAN-SCE-E-17-0003 9 / 23 User Manual - SC-MB Configuration - Rev1.7.docx...
Type “cmd”. Select “Open” or <Enter> to open the Command Prompt. Type in the command: “ipconfig”. That will return the data on your computer IP address. SC-MB Ethernet Configuration User Manual SC-MAN-SCE-E-17-0003 10 / 23 User Manual - SC-MB Configuration - Rev1.7.docx...
IP address of his control computer to the Network ID of 192.168.1 so that the card can be connected to the computer for the first time (again, this is because the SC-MB has a Network ID of 192.168.1 by default) *We have used Windows 10 for this example: 1.
Module. http://192.168.1.150/ (How do I know this? See 6.2 IP addresses above). This is the page that loads: *The number in red represents the serial number of your SC-MB card (in this case 0000).

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.

The only consideration is that you must “Save Board Config” and close and reopen the browser to make sure the new information has been saved. SC-MB Ethernet Configuration User Manual SC-MAN-SCE-E-17-0003 14 / 23 User Manual - SC-MB Configuration - Rev1.7.docx...
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.

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.

If you have purchased a Plug and Fly Module, please read the User Manual for this module, there is further information there concerning the installation and first configuration. #Common Cathode or Common Anode? All of the modules produced by Sismo are in Common Cathode. #Is this SC-MB compatible with FSX/Prepar3D/X-Plane SC-MB Ethernet Configuration...

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.

¿? #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.
