QUICK START GUIDE
This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the ARC Plus Touch in six simple steps. For detailed conguration and setup information, visit
www.burk.com/downloads, select the ARC Plus Touch support page and download the ARC Plus Touch Instruction Manual.
1. Plug in the power cord and power on your ARC Plus Touch. Wait until the display shows the channels
information.
2. Congure the network on the ARC Plus Touch using the touch screen.
To avoid IP address conicts, a static IP address must be added. Change the network settings in the ARC Plus
Touch using the front panel by selecting Menu>Cong>System>Network.
Add the following network information and select enter to conrm the changes.
1. Private IP Address – Assign a static IP address. Check with your network administrator. This is the IP
address of the ARC Plus Touch.
2. Public IP Address – The public and private IP address should be the same unless you have a multi-site
ARC Plus Touch network. This is usually the IP address of the broadband Internet Connection.
3. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory default settings can be
used.
4. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory default settings can be used.
5. Port – Check with your network administrator. If Cisco devices are used in the network, it is
recommended to change the Data Port from 2000 to another port number, for example 4095.
3. 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 congured.
