Appendix A
Changing Frame IP Address
The
ZFCB Control Board
communicates with the various Integrity AV service cards,
interpreting control commands and status information to (and from) the network. Each
FRM-501 Integrity system frame contains one ZFCB control board. The board is located
in the front card bay. This procedure describes the method to be used by the installer to
change the Net Address of the ZFCB. On a dedicated LAN, it is normally not required
for the installer to change the IP address of a frame. When multiple frames are installed
on the same LAN over time, it is possible that an IP address conflict could be created as
new equipment is added. Each ZFCB ordered in one purchase has a different IP address
set at the factory.
Updating the ZFCB requires removing the FRM-501 from service until the update is
completed, which only takes a few minutes. AV service cards will continue to operate,
but remote control access will be suspended until a cold boot restart is performed
. Cards
will not be accessible by a control panel until the update is completed.
Performing this update requires a FRM-501 frame with a ZFCB installed, a DB9 serial
crossover cable, your PC equipped with an available serial port, and a HyperTerminal
utility.
IP Address Rules. All Integrity system frames and control panels must be assigned IP
Address values which do not violate the subnet mask restrictions. The normal subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0, which requires that all Integrity products must have identical
values in the first three bytes of the IP Address, with the fourth byte being a unique value
between 0 - 255, such that no two devices on the LAN have the same IP Address.
Example: 192.168.0.86 and 192.167.0.150 would not communicate, but 192.168.0.86
and 192.168.0.150 would communicate correctly.
Each ZFCB card has an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway that can be modified by
the installer using the following procedure.
