Step 3: Preparing For Configuration - FrontRow CM900 Installer's Manual

Step 3:
You can reconfigure the CM900 at any point if your setup changes or you make a mistake — but it's best to plan ahead
so that you don't have to (see Step 1).
For greatest efficiency, we recommend configuring all of your CM900 systems all at once in the office prior to going to
the installation site, but you can also do it room by room at the school if you prefer.
1. Gather your configuration tools
To configure your CM900 systems you will need to collect:
• Your CM900 systems
• Enough Cat 5e cable to connect between the CM900 and the computer you will use for configuring the device
• A computer with RJ45 connection and a web browser installed (Chrome, Firefox or Safari recommended)
• A completed ezRoom Installer Planning Template or other detailed information about the school's available
IP addresses for your CM900 systems, and other components (see Step 1)
• Your Base Configuration File(s) (see Step 2)
2. Connect your configuration setup
Take your first CM900 and connect it to your configuration equipment as shown here.
• Connect your laptop computer's LAN port to the CM900 LAN port with a Cat 5e, or network cable.
• Change the IPv4 address on your laptop to static address 192.168.1.100. See Appendix D for instruction.
