IPCP Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 16
L LAN or LAN A (IP) connectors and LEDs — To connect the IPCP to an Ethernet
network (so you can configure and control the IPCP and the devices connected to it),
plug a cable into one of these LAN RJ-45 sockets and connect the other end of the
cable to a network switch, hub, router, or PC connected to a LAN or the Internet. If
the IPCP has more than one LAN or LAN A port, the rest of the LAN or LAN A ports
function as simple network switches (a multiport, unmanaged switch), so that you can
connect additional devices to the same network.
Cabling:
• For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a CAT 3 or better cable.
• For 100Base-T (max. 155 Mbps) or 1000Base-T networks, use a CAT 5 cable.
You must configure these ports before using them. Configure the settings via Global
Configurator. See
Software-based Configuration and Control starting on page 25
of this guide for basic information on configuration.
Activity LED (connector and front panel) — This yellow LED blinks to indicate network
activity.
Link LED (connector and front panel) — This green LED lights to indicate a good
network connection.
1000 LED (front panel) — This green LED lights when the unit is connected to a gigabit
network connection.

Need info on how to
differentiate public and private
LAN ports, and what the
default addresses and settings
are for each one.
The following addresses apply
to control processors.
For single NIC models...
192.168.254.250 = primary/
public NIC
For dual NIC models:
192.168.254.250 = primary/
public NIC
192.168.253.250 = secondary/
private NIC
Per John Spencer, 01/08/14,
“the primary NIC on both
the host AV product and the
integrated control module
must reside on the same
subnet. The primary NIC on
both the host AV product
and the integrated control
module must have unique
IP addresses. For individual
products with multiple NICs,
each NIC should reside on a
different subnet.”
TouchLink Touchpanels will
have the following default IP
address: 192.168.254.251
Keep the “IPCP LAN port
defaults” text set to “no
color” (to use as an invisible
text/hyperlink marker).
Figure 11. LAN Connector and LEDs
• Use a straight-through cable for connection to a switch, hub, or router.
• Use a crossover cable for connection directly to a PC. Wire the connector as
shown in the tables above.
NOTE: For public LAN ports, DHCP is off by default.
M MAC address — This is the unique user hardware ID number
(MAC address) of the unit (for example, 00-05-A6-05-1C-A0).
You may need this address during configuration.
