Exigo small A-B system

This article will explain how to setup and configure a small Exigo A-B system.
System A will have one ESC1 Controller and two ENA2200 Amplifiers.
System B will have one ESC1 Controller and two ENA2200 Amplifiers.
In addition there will be one ECPR-3P connected to the system.
The system will be programmed with 4 Zones.
With the PPT button we will configure Live Speech on all zones.

Before you start configure make sure that all devices have been updated to the latest software/firmware.

Step 1: IP address

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 Directory number
PSC System A 10.5.11.11
ESC-1 System A 10.5.11.101 013010
ENA 1 System A 10.5.11.110 012010
ENA 2 System A 10.5.11.111 012020
PSC System B 10.5.11.12
ESC-1 System B 10.5.11.102 023010
ENA 1 System B 10.5.11.120 022010
ENA 2 System B 10.5.11.121 022020
ECPIR-3P 10.5.11.200 011010

Step 2: Primary System Controller Setup

Open up the front of the ESC1 System 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


Web Interface for the Primary System Controller


  • Enter the appropriate IP address (10.5.11.11 for Controller A and 10.5.11.12 for Controller B) in the npe_eth1 field.

This must be done for the ESC System controller for both System A and B.

Step 3: Secondary System Controller Setup

Connect your computer to eth1 (on the back of the ESC1 System Controller).

To find the IP address of the Secondary System Controller:

  • Turn the menu selection knob on the system controller to select Settings > Network to see the IP address on the display.

To configure the IP address and directory number:

  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
Web interface for the Secondary System Controller


Set the following values:

  • Station Mode: Use Exigo
  • Registration Settings:
    • Primary System Controller address: 10.5.11.11 for Controller A and 10.5.11.12 for Controller B (IP address previously set for PSC)
    • Directory Number: 013010 for Controller A and 023010 for Controller B (corresponds to the Directory Number automatically assigned to the system controller in the Exigo Management Tool)
  • IP Settings: Static IP
    • IP-address: 10.5.11.101 for Controller A and 10.5.11.102 for Controller B
    • Subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Gateway: 10.5.11.1
