Assigning An Ip Address Manually; Assigning An Id - Telos Alliance xNode Serie Bedienungsanleitung

Assigning an IP address manually

If the IP value assigned in the previous steps do not fit within your Livewire network plan or you wish to configure
by manual process, you can assign an IP address from the front panel by pressing the page button (top button) until
the IP page is shown.
Press and hold the edit button (bottom button) for 10 seconds.
A cursor will appear in the Address field. Use the top button to increment and the bottom button to move the cursor
to the next position. After 30 seconds of no activity the Edit view will cancel back to the status view. Edit the IP ad-
dress to your needs. Press the next button (bottom) to move the cursor to the next line which is the Netmask setting.
Use the top button to increment the mask to your needs. Press the next button to move to the next line. The NET is
highlighted. Pressing the top button will toggle between the two ports allowing you to select which port is active.
Press the next button (bottom) one more time to complete the edit process. If the cursor returns to the address field,
then an incorrect value has been entered.
NOTE: You can change the node ID but maintain the same IP address by pressing the increment button
when the IP address is highlighted in the Node ID page. This will toggle between a custom address or the
new address created though the auto configuration process.
Once the xNode has the desired IP value, you can log into the HTML interface with a PC that has a static IP value
within the same subnet as the xNode and connected to the same network. Later in this chapter the Simple Setup
HTML interface is covered. Each following chapter is dedicated to a specific xNode and covers in detail the HTML
pages. .

Assigning an ID

The method of setting an xNode with an ID was covered in the Fast Setup. Some details of this option were left out.
To review the ID method: After the xNode has booted, the title page should show on the OLED display, showing the
name of the node and the software version running. The top button acts as the page toggle function. Press the top
button until the Node ID page is shown. Press and hold the lower button (represented by the pencil icon) for 10 sec-
onds A cursor appears following the word Node. Use the top button to increment the cursor value and use the lower
button to move to the next position. After 30 seconds of no activity, the edit page will reset back to the status page.
Select a unique ID for the xNode. Press the lower button one last time to finalize the edit and return to the status
view. The node has now been given an IP address and the inputs have been given unique channel numbers.
MORE ON ID VALUES: Number ranges of 1-99 (nn) support small-to-medium networks with up to 99 nodes.
The node ID determines the IP address (10.216.0.1nn) and the source channel numbers (nn01-nn08).
Number ranges of 100-319 (abc) support large networks with up to 2299 nodes. When the 3 digit ID is being
used, a second level identifier becomes available with range of d=<0-9>. The node ID determines IP address
in range: 10.216.ab.1cd. Channel numbers: abcd1-abcd8.
