Section 5–Obtaining IP Settings for Controller (When IP is Unknown) ATC300-1000/2000 Teletilt ® RET System
5-14 August 2014 Bulletin 639544 • Revision L
5.2.5 Accessing the Controller Interface Over the Serial Connection to
Obtain the Controller’s IP Settings
1. Ensure that the controller is powered up.
2. Ensure the serial connection is active (dialed up successfully) from the local computer to the
controller (see paragraph 5.2.4).
Note that if serial connection is not operating, the Windows® default setting for the 16550
interrupt threshold may be too high. This causes missed characters if the computer is busy. This
setting can be adjusted to a lower rate to correct this condition. Contact the company network
administrator for assistance, if needed.
3. Open an Internet browser (Netscape and Mozilla browsers not supported).
4. Type in the controller’s serial IP address (10.254.254.253) into the URL address window (Figure
5-21). This serial IP address is the default for all ATC200-1000 controllers.
Note that the computer will not be able to access the Internet during the time it is connected to
the controller over the serial connection. If the web browser is stalled from trying to access the
Internet, click on the Stop button to discontinue this attempt.
IMPORTANT! In the event the controller needs to be rebooted/restarted during
the time it is connected to the computer over a serial connection, IMMEDIATELY
disconnect the serial cable from the controller after rebooting. Wait until the
lights stop flashing on the controller before restoring the serial connection to the
computer.
1. Enter controller’s serial IP address.
2. Click.
