Setup
ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5 2 - 7
The Default check box in the communications section sets the currently selected communication type as the default
for that site. When connecting to a site, this is the connection type it will use as the default, unless another is selected
from the drop down list.
2.2.1.1.3 Optional Network Connection Settings
If using the PC’s network port (instead of the serial port), a crossover network cable (Cat 5) must be used between the
PC and the ADPRO FastTrace.
If you are connecting to an ADPRO FastTrace via a hub or switch, then a crossover network cable is not needed, and
a standard network cable should be used.
• The (factory) TCP/IP network address for the ADPRO FastTrace is: 192.168.1.1
• The (factory) subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0
To use the network connection, change the Site Configuration settings (Database / Administration /
Configure Sites) in ADPRO Video Central Lite to the following:
• Connection Type = Network
• IP Address = 192.168.1.1
• Communications = Select Network and check the default check box
Before exiting the System Administration, select Configure Communications and follow the wizard to deselect the
Generic Null Modem and select the Network Adaptor. Also check the PC LAN IP properties to ensure the network
address and subnet mask will allow communication with the ADPRO FastTrace address.
The (factory) TCP/IP network address and subnet mask for the ADPRO FastTrace are class C addresses.
For the PC to be able to successfully connect to the ADPRO FastTrace, your PC IP settings will also need to be
modified to a class C address.
For ease of initial setup, you should change the PC IP settings to the following:
• The TCP/IP network address for your PC should be set to: 192.168.1.2
• The subnet mask address should be set to: 255.255.255.0
NOTE
The crossover network cable is not supplied.
NOTE
Only one ADPRO FastTrace unit should be connected to any network with the default
factory settings. If two ADPRO FastTrace units have the same IP address (192.168.1.1) and
are on the same network, conflicts will occur and communications will not be possible.
