Setting up a small system

This page will explain how to configure and test a small Exigo system.

Step 1: IP addresse

Each device will need to be configured with an IP address and subnet which is in range of the AMC-IP card.

Table below lists IP range for a small system with one amplifier and on access panel. All subnets are set to 255.255.255.0

Device	IP	Dirctory number
PSC	10.1.0.21
ESC-1	10.1.0.20	013010
ENA	10.1.0.30	012010
ECPIR-3P	10.1.0.50	011010

Step 2: Primary System Controller Setup

Open up the front of the ESC1 Controller. Connect your computer to eth0.

1. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address of port npe_eth0: 169.254.1.5
2. Log in with username: admin and password: alphaadmin
3. Select System Configuration > Interfaces

• Enter the appropriate IP address (10.1.10.21) in the npe_eth1 field

1. Open a web browser and enter IP address: 169.254.x.x
2. Log in with username: admin and password: alphaadmin
3. Select Station Main > Main Settings

Set the following values:

• Station Mode: Use Exigo
• Registration Settings:
