Getting Started.
Connect both an RJ45
(Ethernet) network cable and power supply
or USB to power cable to your iTach Flex.
If the Flex is PoE (Power over Ethernet)
enabled, a power supply is not necessary. By
default, an IP Flex uses DHCP to automat-
ically obtain an IP address from your router.
To confirm connectivity to the network, the
power LED of the iTach Flex will blink once
per second. To determine the unit’s IP ad-
dress, download the iHelp application from
www.globalcache.com/downloads, and run it
on a Windows PC that is connected to your
network. iHelp listens for Global Caché mul-
ticast beacons and displays their IP address
and other details within one minute. In the
event there is no DHCP server present, Flex
units in default will reside at the default ad-
dress of
http://192.168.1.70
.
To configure the iTach Flex, right click on
the unit entry in iHelp and click configure.
This will bring up a web browser with the web
configuration pages of the Flex. Then click
the “Flex Link Port Configuration” page on
the left side of the screen and configure the
unit for the required function. The configura-
tion web pages of the Flex can be brought up
at any time by entering the IP address of the
unit in a web browser.
When testing IR functionality, verify the Flex
Link Port is configured as “Single IR Emit-
ter” and connect the IR emitter to the unit. In
the “Single IR Emitter” mode, the Flex will
respond to and execute commands related to
IR functionality, such as “sendir.”
