Method 2: To Address When You Do Not Know The Serial Numbers - Carrier TruVu UCXP683T Installation And Startup Manual

Addressing a network of controllers using the controller setup Local Network tab

Method 2: To address when you do not know the serial numbers

You will need physical access to each device so that you can press the DSC button on the bottom right of the TV-
UCXP683T. This allows you to identify the device on the controller setup Local Network page.
Connect to the Service Port of one i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ IP device on the network. For details, see Addressing
1
the TV-UCXP683T through the Service port (page 9).
Browse to the Service Port address (http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1).
2
On the Ports tab, set the device's IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
3
NOTES The other devices that you configure inherit this device's subnet mask and default gateway.
On the Local Network tab, click the Clear All button to erase any pre-existing data in the Local Devices table.
4
On the controller you want to address, press the DSC button on the bottom right. When pressed, a row
5
appears in the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab. The row has a blue dot to indicate which
controller has just had the button pressed.
In the row for the identified controller, enter the Address and Location (optional).
6
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each controller that you want to address.
7
For more details about discovering and configuring your devices, see Local Network tab (page 48).
8
NOTE To physically identify a device that is displayed on the Local Devices table, you can click the Blink button,
which causes that device's Net and Sys LEDs to flash light blue for 10 seconds.
The following are two possible methods you could use to identify and assign a network of controllers' addresses
after following steps 1 - 4 above.
•
Two technicians can work together if they are communicating throughout the process. The first technician
physically travels around the building to each controller, tells his co-worker exactly where he is, and then
presses the DSC button. The second technician, who is sitting at a computer connected to the controller,
watches for the blue dot to show up on the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab, where he can enter
the appropriate addressing and identifying information.
•
One technician alone can address the controllers on a mobile device showing the Local Network page by
plugging the Carrier wireless service adapter into a controller's Service Port. Then, with the computer, move to
each controller within 100 ft. of the adapter. Pressing the DSC button on the controller displays a blue dot in
the table where the addressing information can be entered.
