Carbonite CarboNET Manual

CarboNET Setup
CarboNET
The CarboNET PMC translator allows you to connect
the control panel to the frame over ethernet. The
control panel connects to the CarboNET over the
standard serial link and then the CarboNET connects to
the frame over ethernet.
Note: The CarboNET requires the frame to have a fixed IP
address so that it can connect to the frame. The frame must
either be set to a static IP address, or your DHCP server must
be set to always give the frame the same IP address.
Ports
USB
Note: The USB and ethernet 2 ports are not available at this
time. Only one PMC port can be used at a time.

CarboNET Network Settings
By default, the CarboNET uses DHCP to automatically
obtain an IP address. You can manually set a static IP
address, network mask, and default gateway if your
network does not have a DHCP server or if you need to
set a static IP.
The CarboNET is automatically discovered in
DashBoard and appears as CarbonitePanel followed
by the MAC address of that particular CarboNET.
To Configure the Network Setting
1. Double-click on the CarbonitePanel node and
click on the Ethernet tab.
Note: The Current DIP Switch field shows the state of
the DIP1 and DIP2 switches on CarboNETthe control
panel. Some settings do not allow you to change the IP
settings from DashBoard.
2. Click a Method button to select whether to use a
static IP address (Static), or obtain an IP address
(DHCP).
3. For a static IP address, enter the IP address (IP
Address), subnet mask (Subnet Mask), and
gateway (Default Gateway) you want to use.
4. In the Carbonite IP Address field, enter the IP
address of the frame you are connecting to.
5. Click a Panel ID button to select whether you
want to assign the panel as the master panel
(Master), or one of the satellite panels (Sat. 1 or
Sat. 2). The panel id sets what permissions the
control panel has to the resources on the frame.
6. Click Apply Changes.
To Assign a Custom Name
The name appears in the tree view in DashBoard and
allows you to easily identify your particular device.
1. Double-click on the CarbonitePanel node and
click on the Panel Name, Permissions tab.
2. In the Panel Name field, enter the new name.
Additional Settings

You can lock the settings to prevent other users from

click on the Panel Name, Permissions tab.
2. On the Edit Permission list, click Unlocked to

To Set an Alarm
The alarm notifies users in DashBoard that a power
supply is failing.
