address” is selected.
g. Click OK in each window to close them.
h. After about 1-2 minutes your computer will configure itself with the correct IP
settings. Verify this by running the ipconfig command again, as described above.
5. Launch the ZonePRO Designer application. If it is currently running, make sure that you
are not online by selecting “Go Offline” from the Network menu. If the device icon is
already grayed-out, ZonePRO Designer is currently offline.
6. Select “Properties” from the Network menu. Make sure that “Use Ethernet” is selected.
Click “Next”.
7. Click “Next” again to enter the Address Tool. Ensure that there are no addressing
conflicts (only ZonePRO Designer and the ZonePRO device should show up, and their Node
addresses should already be different). Close the Networking Wizard.
8. Select “Go Online” from the Network menu. A ZonePRO icon will appear in the main
ZonePRO Designer window. This indicates that you are online and the ZonePRO Designer
software has discovered the ZonePRO device.
6.5 Setup of a simple isolated Ethernet network
Assumptions:
• Using Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
• Computer has a working Ethernet network adapter.
• You have an Ethernet hub (or switch) and Ethernet cables for each connection needed.
An integrated device such as a home gateway/router will not work because they have
a DCHP server (see section 6.3).
• You have administrative rights on the PC so that network settings can be changed if
needed.
• The Ethernet network consists of exactly one computer that will be used to run the
ZonePRO Designer software and one or more ZonePRO devices.
1. Connect the PC and any ZonePRO devices to the hub using standard straight-through
Ethernet cables.
The included crossover Ethernet cable should not be used. Crossover cables are only
designed to connect two Ethernet adapters directly to each other.
2. Apply power to all ZonePRO devices and wait for them to boot.
3. Windows networking, in its default configuration, will automatically configure its IP
setting to something in the Auto-IP range (169.254.xxx.yyy with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and no gateway). This process normally takes 1-2 minutes.
4. Optional (You only need to do these steps if the ZonePRO device does not show up
in step 7.) Verify that you have the correct IP settings on your computer by running
ipconfig.
