Using An Ethernet Based Connection - Omnia -6EX / EXi Installation And Operation Manual

Using an Ethernet Network Based Connection
For Network connections, check the Connect over Ethernet box and enter the IP address of the Omnia-6EX in the
box provided. The TCP/IP address entry format is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default TCP/IP address of the Omnia6 is
192.168.0.191.
Technical note: the Omnia 6 Remote Control communicates with the Omnia 6 using a Telnet session on Port 23. If
you are unable to communicate with the Omnia through a network firewall, the first thing to check is whether traffic
on port 23 is being permitted.
Enter the password for the unit in the Password box. If nothing is entered, you will be asked for the password at the
time you connect to the remote Omnia.
The default passwords for Ethernet remote connections are the same as the front panel passwords:
Level 1: "user" (all lower case)
Level 2: "advuser" (all lower case)
Level 3: "engineer" (all lower case)
These passwords can only be changed at the front panel of the Omnia-6.
The Remote Control software allows multiple connection profiles to be created so that a mix of connection types
(Direct, Serial, TCP/IP) may be used. This allows the program to easily support communicating with different
Omnias at different locations, connected by different means.
When all items have been entered, select OK.
Note: These connection settings are stored in a small binary file named connect.dat located in the same folder as the
remote program.
Upgrade Software Feature
You can use the Ethernet based connection and Omnia Remote Control's special "Upgrade Front Panel" function
under the Options menu to download the most current front panel (user interface) software features into the Omnia.
