First Entry MGC+ Control Unit (CU) IP Configuration

The MCU is delivered with a default IP address: 129.254.4.8. At this point you cannot communicate with the MCU from the MGC Manager application, as the IP address is incorrect. You must change this IP address to the IP address appropriate for your site’s network. There are three methods to modify the default IP address:

•Using the Compact Flash with an updated LAN.CFG file

•Using a cross-over hub cable and a laptop to connect to the MCU locally

•Using a keyboard and monitor attached to the MCU

The MCU is delivered with a Compact Flash disk that contains a LAN.cfg file with the default IP address. Using a USB to Compact Flash adaptor (supplied with the MGC+ accessory kit) connect to any PC and alter the LAN.cfg file.

To update the LAN.cfg File:

1.Insert the Compact Flash disk into the Compact Flash adaptor and using a text editor application, open the LAN.cfg file stored on the Compact Flash disk.

2.Using a text editor application, edit the following parameters:
