AMX MET-ECOM-D manual Connecting In a Network Without a Dhcp Server

Page 36

Using Zero Configuration

Notice that the serial number is appended to the name of the device.

In this case the serial number is 218001WHP2980023.

At this point, the device can be configured (changing IP settings, NetLinx settings, User settings, etc) via the pages in the Configuration Manager (see the Using the Configuration Manager section on page 33).

Connecting In a Network Without a DHCP Server

By using the MET-ECOM zeroconf feature and the Bonjour for Windows plug-in utility, Dealers can install and configure MET-ECOM/D devices one at a time in a network that does not have a DHCP Server. In this case, the MET-ECOM/D devices revert to using a minimal implementation of 'link-local addressing'.

To establish a network connection from a PC to the MET-ECOM device:

1.Direct connect a PC and MET-ECOM device with the AMX PS-POE-AF single-port PoE Injector.

Alternatively, connect the PC and MET-ECOM to an Ethernet switch equipped with PoE. Make sure only one MET-ECOM that is still at its factory default settings is connected.

2.Confirm PC assigned itself an IP address:

a.If the PC's network interface is set to DHCP wait several minutes to ensure the PC reverts to 'link-local addressing'.

b.You can confirm that the PC has assigned itself an IP by running ipconfig from a CMD shell.

The example in FIG. 26 shows the Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: could not find a DHCP server and assigned itself the IP address of 169.254.83.124 with Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0. This is a valid link-local address.

FIG. 26 CMD shell (ipconfig)

If the PC did not assign itself a 169.254.x.x address, or if the PC assigned itself the address of 169.254.2.2 then proceed to Step 3. Otherwise skip to Step 4.

3.Manually assign an IP address, via the Internet Properties (TCP/IP) Properties dialog (FIG. 27):

You may need to manually assign the IP on the PC if the PC does not support link-local addressing or if the PC assigned itself the IP address of 169.254.2.2.

This version of the MET-ECOM assigns itself 169.254.2.2 by default when it reverts to link-local addressing. Therefore, in order to avoid conflict the PC cannot be assigned IP address 169.254.2.2.
