Conguring the Control Module for the Network
IP Address DHCP
The IP address is preset for systems that are not on the network. To
directly connect to the control module over Ethernet, the user uses
any internet browser and places the IP address or control module
name in the navigation bar.
If the MCS is not used, DHCP will allocate an IP address when the
system is connected to the network. This eld can be statically set
through the MCS, but it will be dynamically allocated when MCS is
not used.
NETBIOS Support
The system supports NETBIOS and advertises its hostname as QtXX,
where XX is the last two digits of the MAC address. The hostname
may be changed after a connection is made by a browser.
It may be helpful to use hostnames that convey information about
the area served, for example: qt_b1f3 (building one oor three). If
multiple control modules are installed on a single network, be sure
that no two control modules use the same hostname.
Other Recommended Connections
Access to an SMTP server enables the sending of error notication
emails.
Access to an SNTP server obtains the SNTP time stamp. The module
sends its SNTP request to “pool.ntp.org” (by default). If the SNTP
server is enabled, the real-time clock feature is disabled. A time
server other than the default time server may be specied in the
Administration section under date and time.
Suggestions for Managing Multiple Control Modules
Browser bookmarks are a convenient tool for managing multiple
control modules. A bookmark add-on stores bookmarks on a web
server and allows access from any computer on the LAN.
Create a “Sound Masking” folder (under Bookmarks) to hold a
bookmark for each control module. Use location-based names for
each module’s bookmark. To access a specic control module, open
Bookmarks>SoundMasking, and the specic module bookmark.
