To restore factory defaults and all IP parameters to the values given in the table:
• Push and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
• The reset button is recessed into the rear panel beside the DIP switches
3.2 Network
considerations
The control panel controls Miranda HRS-1801 routers through its Ethernet connection. It supports 10BaseT
and 100BaseT in half or full duplex. The Ethernet negotiation is completely automatic and there is no way to
manually force a speed and duplex mode. However, forcing the Ethernet switch on the other end to a
specific speed and duplex setting will be reported as the preferred way to communicate on the link and this
setting should be used.
A single control panel can communicate with a single router in one frame.
The panel supports the following protocols:
o TCP (Berkeley style sockets)
o DHCP client
o HTTP server
The TCP protocol is used to connect to a remote Densité frame. The panel connects as a client to the frame
using a TCP/IP socket.
• If connecting to a DENSITE-CPU-ETH controller, the user must make sure that no one else is
connected to the Densité frame, or the panel will not be able to use it (since only one connection is
available at a time on this type of controller)
• If connecting to a DENSITE-CPU-ETH2 controller, there is no restriction as this controller supports
multiple connections. You can then use multiple panels or controlling devices (such as iControl or
RCP-100) at the same time to control the router
The DHCP client can be enabled or disabled using the web interface. If the panel is configured to use DHCP,
it will acquire its IP parameters from the DHCP server at boot up and on lease expiration.
• If a DHCP server cannot be found, the panel will default to the fixed IP parameters set for operation
mode.
