The Aquilon RS1 uses standard ethernet LAN
networking. To access the Web RCS, connect a
computer to the Aquilon RS1 using the Ethernet
cable. Then on the computer, open an internet
browser (Google Chrome is recommended).
Into this internet browser, enter the IP address
of the Aquilon RS1 displayed on the front panel
screen (192.168.2.140 by default).
The connecon starts.
Oen, computers are set to DHCP client (automac
IP detecon) mode. You may need to change the
IP address conguraon on your computer before
you can connect. These sengs are found in the
properes for your LAN network adaptor, and vary
by operang system.
The default IP address on the Aquilon RS1 is
192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Therefore, you can assign your computer a stac
IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of
255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.
If the connecon is not starng:
• Be sure the computer IP address is on the same
network and subnet as the Aquilon RS1.
• Be sure that two devices do not have the same IP
address (prevent IP conicts)
• Check your network cable. You will need a
crossover ethernet cable if you are connecng
directly from the Aquilon RS1 to the computer. If
a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet
cables.
