Drake EH244 SERIES - Manual (Page 8)

CONFIGURATION
The EH244 Series Encoder Host is configured by either the front panel interface or the ethernet-
connected web server interface. When the unit is first installed, the front panel should be used to
configure the unit’s IP (Internet Protocol) settings for the purpose of enabling the ethernet-connected
web server interface controls. Most configuration settings of the unit may be programmed from the
front panel, however, if the operator chooses to do so.
Front Panel Configuration

The front panel displays several useful status messages that can be selected by using the buttons
below the LCD display. Pressing the ▲ button (above ENTER), will cause the LCD display to cycle
between:
1. Currently installed firmware version
2. IP address currently assigned to the EH244 Series Encoder Host’s ethernet control interface
3. MAC address of the ethernet control interface
Pressing the ▼ button (below ENTER), the LCD display will cycle between the output channel bit rates
of the 4 possible mutliplexes.
To change any settings using the front panel:
1. Press one of the two ◄ or ► buttons labeled ENCODER SELECT until the LCD displays EH244
2. Press and hold in ENTER (for about two seconds) until the LCD display begins to blink.
This blinking indicates that the EH244 Series Encoder Host is now in CONFIGURATION MODE.
3. Use the ◄ and ► buttons on either side of ENTER to cycle through settings on the unit.
4. Press the ▲ and ▼ buttons above and below ENTER to cycle through the valid values for each
setting currently shown on the LCD display.
5.
Once all changes to the configuration settings have been complete, press ENTER again to save
all settings and return the front panel to its normal mode.
The following settings are available from the front panel:
USER NAME: Variable – this sets the username for the ethernet control interface authorization; this field is case-
sensitive.*
PASSWORD: Variable – this sets the password for the ethernet control interface authorization; this field is case-
sensitive.**

*The default username for this unit is “admin” (in all lower case letters).
