Ethernet Connection
For those tickers that use an Ethernet system for communications, a network
connection will be made from the network hub or switch to the “master” ticker. The
controller has an onboard Ethernet port, with a default address that will need to be
reconfigured to an address on your network. The default address is: 172.16.192.27.
1. Plug the computer into a network hub.
2. Plug the network cable into a network hub or switch.
3. Plug the other end of the network cable into the jack labeled “Ethernet IN”
on the “master” ticker.
4. Plug the ticker’s power cord into a 120 VAC grounded outlet.

3.4 Section to Section Connections
When connecting “master” and “echo” display sections 20-pin ribbon cables are
used to connect the sections together.
1. Carefully hang the echo ticker(s) as described in Section 2.2. Do not yet
slide the ticker sections together.
2. The ribbon cable should already be plugged into the “Signal In” jack on the
shift card ( Figure 13 ) of the first echo ticker. If it isn’t, do so at this time.
3. Plug one end of the ribbon cable into the “Out” jack on the back of module
A101 (the left end module) of the master ticker.
4. The connection for a master to one echo is shown in Figure 12 . Repeat steps
1 though 3 to connect and hang each consecutive echo ticker. All other
internal wiring between modules has been done by Daktronics.
