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. Refer to the documentation for your system for the proper IP addresses, subnets, and
gateways that are assigned in your system.

The IP address parameters for the HIB-IP unit are downloaded into the units using the MCNConfig software
that comes with the MCNRCD or MCN Server software. The IP parameters are loaded into the unit through the
front panel serial programming connector. When used in this manual, MCN Config refers to the version
shipped with the MCN software and cold be:
Software MCN Config
MCNRCD MCN Config.exe
MCN Server MCN Config Server.exe
MCN Advanced Server MCN Config Server.exe
MCN Server 8000 MCN Config Server.exe
The MCN Config software will keep track of all HIB-IP units for a particular system. If you are running the
standard MCNRCD or MCN Server software, you will be able to use (1) HIB-IP. If you are running the
MCNRCD Advanced Server or MCN Server 8000 software, you may be able to access multiple HIB-IP units,
depending upon your license.
The MCNConfig program maintains a list of:
• Addressing parameters for all HIB-IP units in the system (including the MCN Group & Module)
• Authorized PC List
Each HIB-IP unit will be configured with:
• Its own HIB-IP addressing information
• Authorized PC information
• UDP Port
Fixed for Legacy HIB-IP versions 399 and below
Configurable for HIB-IP 8000 units (Version 400 & up):
Choice of: HIB-IP (Legacy) or HIB-IP 8000*
* HIG-IP 8000 UDP Port requires MCN Software 6.10 or higher.
Appendix F of this manual provides an overview of IP addressing concepts.
