Section 3 — Control System Configuration

Ethernet Interface Configuration

IP addresses for either the 10Base-T controller or the 10/100Base-T Con-

troller are set at the factory for Encore installati

ons. For that reason, it’s pos-

sible to configure a Concerto using the default

IP addresses with an Encore

System Controller also running default IP addresses.

Table 42. Default Concerto IP Addresses

Concerto Matrix Controllers Primary Secondary

Matrix Controller 1 Matrix Controller 2

Ethernet IP Address 192.168.1.34 192.168.1.35

Ethernet Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

CAUTION Concerto Controller redundant operation employs consecutive IP addresses.

The next higher IP address is reserved for this purpose and cannot be

assigned to another device on the network, even if the Concerto is not oper-

ating redundantly. Serious system communications problems can occur if

this next higher Concerto Controller IP address

is used on the network.

Concerto IP addresses need to be changed on their controllers before they

will interface with the SMS 7000 Control System, or interface with an

Encore system that is not using default settings.

Note IP addresses set on a Concerto Matrix Controller with the Factory Defaults

button on the Concerto Matrix Network Configuration web page

(192.168.1.134 primary, 192.168.1.135 secondary) are different from the IP

addresses manually set on a Concerto at the factory before shipment.

Preparation

Before you change the IP addresses on Concerto, you should complete any

software updates that are available for the control system you will be using

to configure Concerto. You can update Concerto’s software using Net-

Config after the settings on Concerto are complete (see Software Updates on

page 98).

The following is required:

• The IP address(es) you want for each Matrix Controller (and backup if

ou have one) so that they can be uniquely addressed on your network,

• The IP address of your gateway (if you have one),

• The IP address of the Control System, (MCPU and backup MCPU for

SMS 7000 or the Sys

tem Control Processor for Encore).

• NetConfig installed on the PC being used for configuration, and

• The Concerto Software loaded onto the PC, which will be installed onto

he Concerto Matrix controller after network communication is estab-

lished.
