The Picturall Quad uses standard ethernet LAN
networking. To access the Web Congurator,
connect a computer to the Picturall Quad using
the Ethernet cable. Then on your computer, open
an internet browser and enter the IP address of
the Picturall Quad (displayed on the front panel
screen).
The connecon should start.
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 Picturall Quad 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 Picturall Quad.
• Be sure that no two devices 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 Picturall Quad to the computer.
If a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet
cables.
• For more informaon, please see the user manual
or contact your local technical support.
Once succesfully connected, the Web Congurator
is displayed automacally.
CAUTION!
Mounng using only the front
rack ears is sucient for xed
installaons. Addional support,
such as the rear rack support or
slide rails, is required for mobile
applicaons, and recommended
for all.
