Software Installation and Network Configuration
Set IP Addresses and Resolve any Duplicates
The IP address of a Prelude system component can be changed using Net-
Config, or using the web page of that device. To use the direct web page
method. however, you need to know the existing IP address of that device.
NetConfig is convenient to use for IP address changes because it displays
all the devices on the network, making them easy to access.
Set Compatible IP Address Subnets
NetConfig will report the presence of devices on a different subnet (in gen-
eral, devices with IP addresses that have varying third octet numbers), but
these devices will all need to be on the same subnet to work with other
Prelude devices. For example, if your system has both Concerto and Acap-
pella frames, you can change the default Acappella frame IP addresses to
have a “1” as the third octet, which will match the Concerto default subnet.
1. Select the NetConfig Set IP icon on the toolbar or the Device IP
Addresses in the Configure pull-down.
2. Highlight the device with an incorrect subnet IP address.
3. Click Edit , then change that device’s IP address to be unique, but have
the same third octet as the other Prelude devices.
4. Click Apply Changes . The device resets, and the new IP address will be
reported in the left pane of NetConfig screen.
Resolve Any Duplicate IP Addresses
Resolving duplicate IP addresses is easily accomplished with NetConfig. If
a device is installed on the network with the same IP address as another
device, when the new device is discovered a warning message will be dis-
played. The IP View will also show the two devices with the same address
with an IP symbol as shown in
Figure 6 on page 23 . This can occur when
new devices with factory default IP addresses are installed on the network.
1. Select the NetConfig Set IP icon on the toolbar or the Device IP
Addresses in the Configure pull-down.
2. Highlight one of the devices with a duplicate IP address.
3. Click Edit , then change the last octet of that device’s IP address to be
unique. The first three octets of all the IP addresses must be identical,
so all the devices are on the same network.
4. Click Apply Changes . The device resets, and the new IP address will be
reported in the left pane of NetConfig screen.
