SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
There is always a danger present when using electronic equipment.
Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective equipment and signal
distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment that you are working with and observe
the following safety precautions.
•Every precaution has been taken in the design of your TSS 6220 to ensure that it is as
safe as possible. However, safe operation depends on you the operator.
•Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points of
connection are secure to the chassis and that protective covers are in place and secured
with fasteners.
•Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another person
close by in case of an accident.
•Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the
application or operation call Sencore for assistance.
•WARNING –To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock never allow your equipment to
be exposed to water, rain or high moisture environments. If exposed to a liquid, remove
power safely (at the breaker) and send your equipment to be serviced by a qualified
technician.
•To reduce the risk of shock the TSS 6220 must be connected to a mains socket outlet
with a protective earth ground connection.
•For the TSS 6220 the mains plug is the main disconnect and should remain readily
accessible and operable at all times.
•To reduce the risk of shock and damage to equipment, it is recommended that the
chassis grounding screw located on the rear of the TSS 6220 –be connected to the
installation’s rack, the vehicle’s chassis, the battery’s negative terminal, and/or earth
ground.

3.7 Obtaining the TSS 6220 IP Address
Operating the TSS 6220 depends on gaining access to the unit’s network GUI as there is no front
panel interface. Connecting to the unit’s web GUI using a web browser requires knowledge of the
IP address of the port in which to enter into the address field of a web browser. To acquire and or
to change the port’s IP address from the factory default requires viewing a computer monitor
connected to the unit along with the use of a keypad to navigate the provided menus.
To obtain or make changes to the port’s IP address:
1. Connect a computer monitor to the VGA
connector and power it on. Reference
Section 3.4 in this manual –(#7) rear panel
port.
2. Connect a PC keyboard (USB type) to the
rear panel USB connectors. Reference
Section 3.4 in this manual –(#8) rear panel
USB connection ports.
3. With power properly connected to the TSS 6220, push and release the front panel power
button. Allow some time for boot up. The system
starts up with no user or password entry required.
A Main Menu screen appears on the monitor
.
4. The Ethernet port 0 (eth0) and Ethernet port 1
(eth1) IP addresses are shown on the initial Main
Menu. Enter the IP address of the port you are
using into your web browser. See the next sections
(3.7, 3.8) of this manual for more details on
changing the IP address and using the web GUI.
5. If the IP addresses are not shown, press the ENTER key on the keyboard to advance to
the next menu. Press the Up or Down arrow keys on the keyboard to select the eth1 or
eth0 Adapter Status listing by Moving the cursor in
front of the selection. Note: If no cursor is seen, press
ENTER a second time.
6. Press Enter on the keyboard to advance to the
configuration menu if you wish to change the IP
mode (static or DHCP) or to change IP Address,
Subnet, or Gateway addresses. See the next
section in this manual for additional information.
In some instances, you may be able to use the factory default IP addresses to gain web access.
The following default IP addresses are used.
Factory Default Settings:
eth0: DHCP
eth1: 10.0.0.61
eth2: 10.0.0.62 (with added optional ports)
