1 UNPACKING
In addition to this Quick Start Guide, you will find the
following in each package:
(1) Plus-X EM32 Unit
(1) Ethernet Cable
(1) Power Cord
2 NETWORK SETUP
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X EM32 to your network via the rear-panel Ethernet
connector.
2. If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If
DCHP is not supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a
web browser and enter the hostname PLUSXEM32/ in the browser's address field then skip to step
5. Be sure to include the forward-slash symbol in the hostname.
3. If your network doesn't support DHCP, the Plus-X EM32 will assign itself the default IP address
192.168.0.100. You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Plus-X EM32 at this IP
address before you can change the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug
your PC from any other LAN and connect your PC to the Plus-X EM32 via a network switch or a
cross-over ethernet cable. Then configure your PC with a compatible IP address so that you may
connect to the Plus-X EM32. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to configure your
PC with a compatible IP address:
1 From the Control Panel, select Network Connections.
2 Double-click the icon for the network you will be using.
3 On the General tab, click Properties.
4 Click Internet Protocol version 4 "TCP/IPv4".
4. Open a browser and enter the Plus-X EM32 default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
5. The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
6. The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you
supplied above.
7. The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network page requiring you to enter
a static IP address for the Plus-X EM32. Check with your network administrator for an available IP
address that is not within the DHCP address range.
5 Select Properties.
6 Choose "Use the following IP address" and enter an IP address of
192.168.0.x, where x is any valid address location except 100.
7 Enter Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
8 Click OK.
8. Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address. If your initial
connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now be restored to its prior
network settings and both the PC and the Plus-X EM32 should be connected to the
normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X EM32 at its new static IP address, go to the Settings tab on the
web page and select Network to change the network information.
Add the following network information and select save to confirm the changes.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default value of
PLUSXEM32 so conflicts will not occur if multiple Plus-X devices of the same
model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in a
previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factor
default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used.
e. ARC Plus IP address – Enter the IP address of the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus
SL unit that the Plus-X EM32 will be connected to.
f. HTTP Port – Check with your network administrator. The factory default setting
is port 80.
g. Plus-X Port – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used. This port must match the setting for Plus-X Port on
your ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL unit.
10. To verify communication, open a command prompt on your computer and ping
the address you just assigned to the unit to ensure it is correctly configured.
