CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual 1. INTRODUCTION WHAT IS A HIB-IP? The HIB-IP module is a remote network interface for an MCN (Monitoring & Control Network) system. It is used with the MCNRCD (MCN Remote Comparator Display) software in a PC. The HIB-IP connects to the MCN network on one side and to a PC via an Ethernet connection. IP LAN / WAN CA-80698-100 Figure 1 MCN System with HIB-IP Software compatibility: MCNRCD (Windows) Version 2.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual HIB-IP versus EXB-IP The HIB-IP is housed in a module similar to the EXB-IP. Although both connect to an MCN network and an Ethernet network, there are some differences: • EXB-IP modules are used in pairs to link distant MCN networks together over IP. HIB-IP modules are used to connect a PC to a remote MCN Network over IP. • The PC requires an MCN Network Interface to connect to the MCN Network.

CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual HTTP Page Security Note The HIB-IP and HIB-IP 8000 units have an HTTP page that shows the status of the unit, including the IP parameters programmed into it and its On-Line / Off-Line status. This is useful for system troubleshooting. This feature is turned off at the factory by default for HIB-IP 8000 units.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual 2. IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION This section describes the IP address parameters that must be set for the HIB-IP unit. NOTE: DO NOT connect the HIB-IP module to a live IP network until it has been reconfigured with new IP addresses. Network-wide problems could arise from connecting devices to a network without coordination of addressing information. For usage with dedicated fiber segments, see the note below. Each system is different.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual IP SETTINGS WORKSHEET Gather the following IP information for the system. IP information must be obtained for each HIB-IP module to be used (from the network administrator responsible for the IP network to which the HIB-IP module will be attached): Individual HIB-IP Parameters: For each HIB-IP in the system, gather the following information: HIB-IP Number Name HIB-IP Address (Host IP Address) _____._____._____._____ Subnet Mask _____.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual BACKUP & RESTORE PROCEDURES The HIB-IP units are not part of any automatic Back-up And Restore (BAR) system. The HIB-IP configuration information is saved in the configuration files generated by the MCN Config software. It is recommended that you back up those files as part of your standard backup procedures. See the appropriate MCN Software Manual for your system for additional Backup & Restore information.

CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual DC Power Connection DC IN DC power must be attached to the HIB-IP module via the DC IN connector. A wall plug-in style power supply designed for the HIB-IP module is an available option. C) Program IP Parameters: The IP parameters are downloaded from the PC to the HIB-IP unit using a serial cable. 1.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual Select the proper COM port and hit "Program". D) Connect to the MCN & IP networks: MCN Network Connection • The local MCN network must be attached to the HIB-IP module via the “NETWORK” connector following standard guidelines as to cable type, cable length, and termination appropriate for the selected transceiver.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual IP Switch Manual Settings Note Some IP Switches (Like some HP Switches) that have Auto Speed and Duplex negation may not be able to auto-negotiate with the HIB-IP unit. In those cases, we recommend that you manually configure the Ethernet port in the IP switch that connects to the HIB-IP. See the IP Switch Configuration – Speed & HDX/FDX Negotiation section on page 31 for more details. E.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual 4. TESTING HTTP STATUS PAGE The HIB-IP and HIB-IP 8000 units have an HTTP page that shows the status of the unit, including the IP parameters programmed into it and its On-Line / Off-Line status. This is useful for system troubleshooting. . On the HIB-IP 8000 units, this feature is turned off at the factory by default.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual Additional System Security & HTTP Page If your network security policies mandate against this type of data being accessible through HTTP pages, verify that the HTTP page by setting Switch 2 Down and resetting the unit. For further security, restrict physical access to the unit and the networks to which it connects.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual APPENDIX APPENDIX A. FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION Control Processor Restoring Factory Default Communication Parameters If the Control Processor communication parameters are overwritten so that the HIB-IP cannot communicate with the MCN Network, they can be restored as follows: • Press the “RESET” button on the front of the HIB-IP unit • After the “ERR” LED goes off, press the “RESET” button a second time.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual APPENDIX B. MOUNTING OPTIONS Wall mount and EIA 19” rack mount kits are available as options for the HIB-IP units from CTI Products, Inc. The wall mount kit includes brackets to allow a single HIB-IP module to be mounted to any flat surface. The rack mount kit includes an adapter allowing up to three HIB-IP modules to be mounted in a single rack unit height.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual To attach a module to the rack adapter, and then mount the rack adapter into the rack, follow the steps below. WARNING Do not allow the PC board to slide out of the housing when the front panel is removed. If it does, DO NOT slide the PC board back into the housing from the front of the module. Doing so may damage the unit, causing the unit to malfunction when powered on. Doing so will void the unit’s warranty.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual Wall Mount Option The wall mount option allows an HIB-IP module to be mounted to any flat surface. The HIB-IP module has four screw holes on the bottom. Simply attach the two mounting plates to the bottom of the module using the four flat-head screws provided with the wall mount kit. This assembly is then attached to the flat surface with user-provided fasteners. Figure 6 shows a dimensioned view of the wall mount installation.

CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual APPENDIX G. IP ADDRESSING Conventions Any node connected to an IP (Internet Protocol) network must be identified with a unique 32-bit address. These 32-bit addresses are commonly written in dotted decimal notation as four decimal numbers (referred to as octets because each decimal number represents 8 bits) separated by decimal points. Each octet can be a number from 1 to 255. For example, 131.9.1.2 is a valid IP address.
CTI Products, Inc. HIB-IP & HIB-IP 8000 Hardware Reference Manual MAC Addresses Whereas IP uses Logical Addresses to identify a host (node), other protocols use Hardware Addresses called Media Access Control addresses, or MAC addresses. MAC addresses are set at the factory at time of manufacture and cannot be changed. (IP addresses can be changed at any time.) A MAC address consists of six octets, in hexadecimal notation, separated by colons. An example would be: 00:10:EE:00:02:34.
