Installation Instructions
This section explains how to install and connect your emu3 system.
Changing the Master emu3 IP address
By default, all emu3 units are configured with an IP address of
192.168.0.209
. This address is in the space reserved
for private networks. If you are daisychaining multiple emu3 units in a Master/Slave setup, only the Master unit is
directly connected to your LAN (the Slave units are controlled from the Master’s LINK OUT port).
You will
only
need to change the default IP address of your Master emu3 unit in the following cases:
•
There is already a machine on your network with the IP address 192.168.0.209
•
Your LAN uses a different IP address space
If neither of the above applies, you can go straight to the next section, “Install the units and make earth connections”
on page 10.
To change the IP address space of your Master unit:
1.
Configure a standalone PC (i.e. one not connected to your LAN) with the IP address
192.168.0.1
.
2.
Connect a CAT5e cable from the standalone PC to the
LAN
connector on the rear panel of your Master unit.
3.
Connect an IEC mains power cable to the
MAINS
connector on the rear panel.
4.
Plug the cable into a wall outlet and switch on.
If you are using an emu3ACO, you only need to connect one power cable, e.g. to the
MAINS A
connector.
5.
Open a web browser on the standalone PC and enter the url
192.168.0.209
The Login web page should be displayed. If it does not, wait a few moments and refresh the web page.
6.
Enter the user name and password these are both set to
admin
by default) and click
Login
. This will display the
Overview page of the IPE Dashboard.
