CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION
This section will show you how to configure your new MC controller using the web-based
configuration utility.
Web-based Configuration Utility
If you wish to change the default settings or optimize the performance of the MC-2120, you may use
the web-based configuration utility.
After power on, connect Ethernet cable from PC to MC-2120
Go to control panel -> network and sharing center -> Ethernet properties and setup TCP/IPv4 as
manual.

To access the configuration utility, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and
enter http://192.168.1.110 in the address field.
Note: our recommendation is Firefox browser.
RF Configuration
RF Activation: Check the box to enable the wireless function. If
you do not want to use wireless, uncheck the box to disable all
the wireless functions.
Point type: The MC2120 network is a MESH network. A network
consists of a Coordinator (master) and N routers (routers, slave
modules). All nodes have the same channel and PAN ID.
Note: always the RC remote control is set to coordinator as
factory set.

REV.00

PAN ID: MC-2120 networks are called personal area networks (PANs). Each network is defined with a unique
PAN identifier (PAN ID), which is common among all devices of the same network. MC-2120 devices are either
preconfigured with a PAN ID to join, or they can discover nearby networks and select a PAN ID to join.
MC-2120 supports 00 01-FF 00 PAN ID. Both PAN IDs are used to uniquely identify a network. Devices on the
same network must share the same PAN IDs. If multiple MC-2120 networks are operating within range of each
other, each should have unique PAN IDs.
Channel: Users can change the channel (2405 MHz~2480 MHz), the corresponding channel 11 ~ 26 optional.
Note: If the gateway is used as a data node for the positioning system, it needs to be set to: PAN ID = 0xDEBF,
channel = 15
Select Antenna: Users can switch between on bored antenna or external.
User defined address: self-address ranges from 0001 ~ to FF00
Receiver Ch.: this setting is related to Channel RC remote control selection. can be set 1 to 4
Note: each RC remote control can be full control 4 No. MC-2120 controller.
Clock Configuration
To set RC remote control time & date use this setting.
Server Configuration/Hardware & software version
Users can change the IP address with this setting.
Extension Module
Check the box to enable the module No.1 to 3. If you do not want
to use extension module, uncheck the box to disable all the
functions.
This mode to use network 4 No. MC2120 via CANBUS with one
antenna.

RS485 Configuration
Check the box to enable the RS485. If you do not want to use
extension module, uncheck the box to disable all the functions.
This mode to use connect MC2120 to RC remote control or HMI via
RS485 Modbus. In this mode disable RF function.
Note: In this function the MC-2120 set to slave & RC remote is
master by factory set
