QUICK START GUIDE
4. Open a browser and enter the Plus-X ICRU default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
5. The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
6. The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you supplied
above.
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X ICRU to your network via the rear-panel Ethernet connector.
2. If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If DCHP is not
supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a web browser and enter the
hostname PLUSXICRU/ in the browser’s address field then skip to step 5. Be sure to include the forward-slash
symbol in the hostname.
3. If your network doesn’t support DHCP, the Plus-X ICRU will assign itself the default IP address 192.168.0.100.
You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Plus-X ICRU at this IP address before you can change
the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug your PC from any other LAN and connect your
PC to the Plus-X ICRU via a network switch or a cross-over ethernet cable. Then configure your PC with a
compatible IP address so that you may connect to the Plus-X ICRU. Running Windows, the following steps will
allow you to configure your PC with a compatible IP address:
7. The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network
page requiring you to enter a static IP address for the Plus-X ICRU.
Check with your network administrator for an available IP address that is
not within the DHCP address range.
8. Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address.
If your initial connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now
be restored to its prior network settings and both the PC and the Plus-X
ICRU should be connected to the normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X ICRU at its new static IP address, go to the
Settings tab on the web page and select Network to change the
network information.
Add the following network information and select save to confirm the
changes.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default
value of PLUSXICRU so conflicts will not occur if multiple Plus-X devices of
the same model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in
a previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the
factory default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the
factory default setting can be used.
In addition to this Quick Start Guide, you will nd the
following in each package:
This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the Plus-X ICRU in four simple steps. For detailed conguration and setup information,
visit www.burk.com/downloads, select the Plus-X ICRU support page and download the Plus-X ICRU Installation and Operation Manual.

The Plus-X ICRU communicates with the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL via
LAN/WAN, allowing installation anywhere a network connection is available.
Use AutoLoad Plus to add the
Plus-X device to the ARC Plus
Touch or ARC Plus SL unit. Ensure
you have the current version
of AutoLoad Plus installed on
your computer. To obtain the
current version, visit www.burk.
com/downloads and select the
AutoLoad Plus support page. On
the AutoLoad Plus menu, select
Edit->Plus-X Devices and click Add.
The dialog box shown to the right
will be displayed.
•Select Plus-X ICRU and enter its network information.
Note: If adding more than one Plus X device to an ARC Plus, change the
starting channel so that other assigned channels are not overwritten.
The Plus-X ICRU allows connection of 8 raise and 8 lower channels. Raise channels connect to the left
set of 24 pins on the rear panel and lower channels connect to the right set of 24 pins.

10. To verify communication, open a command prompt on your computer and ping the
address you just assigned to the unit to ensure it is correctly configured.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Connect your site equipment to the provided 24-pin or
3-pin push-on block connectors. Secure the wires with
the built-in setscrews. Connections are standard, from
left to right: common (C), normally open (NO), and
normally closed (NC)
2. Connect the push-on blocks to the rear panel of the
Plus-X ICRU with the setscrews facing up. Use care to
properly align each terminal with the contacts on the
back panel of the unit.
e. ARC Plus IP address – Enter the IP address of the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL unit that the Plus-X
ICRU will be connected to.
f. HTTP Port – Check with your network administrator. The factory default setting is port 80.
g. Plus-X Port – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory default setting can be
used. This port must match the setting for Plus-X Port on your ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL unit.
•Select OK to conrm the rst Plus X device.
•If adding more than one Plus X device, repeat the same steps.
•Save the conguration by selecting File>Save in AutoLoad Plus
To conrm that the Plus-X ICRU is communicating, log in to the ARC Plus
Touch or ARC Plus SL using the web browser. All assigned channels should
show their default values.
MANUALLY MAPPING PLUS-X CHANNELS
1. To manually map Plus-X channels to the ARC Plus, click the Command
tab. Locate an unused channel and click the […] button in the Source
column. This will bring up the Source dialog. Click the Plus-X button and
choose the Plus-X device and channel you wish to use.
2. Use the Commands tab in AutoLoad Plus to congure additional relay
settings for the newly added Plus-X ICRU channels.
3. Select File>Save to save the changes to the ARC Plus.
Note: If the channels show as ofine or a warning is displayed, check the
network conguration and ensure the conguration is saved within AutoLoad
Plus.
Refer to the Plus-X ICRU Installation and Operation Manual for further
information on conguring and operating the Plus-X ICRU unit.
The 16 relays on the Plus-X ICRU may be used as raise/
lower pairs or individually as up to 16 command channels.
To congure the relay behavior, use a web browser to
connect to the Plus-X ICRU. Click on the Conguration
link in the menu bar then click on Relay Settings from the
sidebar.
Click the Pair checkbox in the center column to pair the
associated relays (1 and 9, 2, and 10, etc.). When paired,
the relays will behave as one raise/lower channel. When
not paired, each relay behaves independently.
