2.3 Networking with CG-S/IP interface and CG-S/IP Router+ 1P
The PC is connected directly with the network (LAN) via RJ45 on the CGVision side. A CG-S/IP interface and a free
PC USB port is connected for this opera-tion. A CG-S/IP Router+ in the network is then configured as a configura-
tion server that manages the PC with the CG-S/IP interface and all other CG-S / IP Routers+ (configured as clients)
in the network, to which the CEAG emergency light systems are installed with STAR technology (AT-S+, ZB-S,
CG2000). The clients support DHCP in intranet networks, meaning when the IP addresses change.

2.4 Operation
The CG-S / IP Router+ 1P enables the CEAG CG-S bus to „tunnel" via an existing intranet (LAN). In this way it is
possible, instead of a standard bus line (CG-S bus), to use an IP-based network for transmission of data between
the emergency light systems with STAR technology (AT-S+, ZB-S and CG2000) and the CGVision visualisation soft-
ware from CEAG.
On the CGVision side the CG-S/IP interface (see above) is usually used. For this purpose two drivers (852 server /
RNI client) are installed on the PC with CGVision that enable use of a LAN interface of the PC. The IP address of the
configuration server and the own LAN IP address is entered into the 852 server configuration tool.
Any CG-S/IP router+ 1P in the network is configured as the configuration server. All other CG-S/IP Routers+ 1P,
configured as clients, and the PC with your IP addresses, is entered and registered in a channel list in the configura-
tion server. Setup of the ‚CG-S bus tunnel' is thus then complete by the IP network.
