Section 3 — Control System Configuration
Ethernet Interface Configuration
IP addresses for either the 10Base-T controller or the 10/100Base-T Con-
troller are set at the factory for Encore installations. For that reason, it’s pos-
sible to configure a Concerto using the default IP addresses with an Encore
System Controller also running default IP addresses.
CAUTION Concerto Controller redundant operation employs consecutive IP addresses.
The next higher IP address is reserved for this purpose and cannot be
assigned to another device on the network, even if the Concerto is not oper-
ating redundantly. Serious system communications problems can occur if
this next higher Concerto Controller IP address is used on the network.
Concerto IP addresses need to be changed on their controllers before they
will interface with the SMS 7000 Control System, or interface with an
Encore system that is not using default settings.
Note
IP addresses set on a Concerto Matrix Controller with the Factory Defaults
button on the Concerto Matrix Network Configuration web page
(192.168.1.134 primary, 192.168.1.135 secondary) are different from the IP
addresses manually set on a Concerto at the factory before shipment.
Preparation
Before you change the IP addresses on Concerto, you should complete any
software updates that are available for the control system you will be using
to configure Concerto. You can update Concerto’s software using Net-
Config after the settings on Concerto are complete (see
).
Consult with your Network or System administrator for the IP address for
the Concerto hardware.
