Equinox Systems ESP-2 MI Installation And User Manual page 12

• You may install the hub with the back against the wall, using the two flanges on the
back. In this case, you may remove the four rubber feet on the bottom of the hub or
leave them installed. Use your screws and washers to attach the hub to the wall.
With either installation, you may orient the hub to best fit your configuration.
To initiate the startup sequence and configure the IP address:
1. The MAC address is printed on a label on the bottom of the hub. This address
will be used as a Unit ID to distinguish different ESP hubs on the network.
Record the MAC address.
00 - 80 - 7D - _____ - _____ - _____
2. Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the
front of the hub. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation.
3. Connect devices to the serial ports on the front of the hub, using appropriate cables.
4. Attach the electrical power connector(s) to the appropriate connector on the front
of the unit.
5. Configure the IP address:
If you are using the web interface, you may initially access the hub using the
predefined IP address (see Accessing the Web Interface on page 22), then
configure the network address information (see Displaying or Changing Network
Configuration Values on page 23).
-or-
The configuration utility is automatically enabled on port 1. Using a terminal
emulation program of your choice (with a serial connection at 19200 baud, 8 bits,
no parity and one stop bit), you may access the configuration utility on this port
(see Accessing the Configuration Utility on page 32), then configure the network
address information (see Displaying or Changing Network Configuration Values
on page 34).
-or-
If you are using the serial port redirection connection method, install the ESP
drivers included on the CD (be sure to check the Equinox web site,
www.equinox.com, for the latest version). If you are using a Windows host
system, install the EquiView Plus version 5.2 management utility included on the
distribution CD (or downloaded/updated from the Equinox web site). The
Release Notes also contain driver installation information.
-or-
If you are using a configuration file with a BootP or DHCP server, consult your
operating system documentation to determine how to configure the BootP or
DHCP server.
• After the ESP-2 hub acquires an IP address (by any method), it will no
longer use BootP or DHCP. Therefore, you cannot change the network
values using this method.
