Setting up a small A-B system

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

Step 4: ENA Amplifier Setup

Connect your computer to eth1 (on the back of the ENA Amplifier).

To find the IP address of the ENA Amplifier:

• Turn the menu selection knob on the Amplifier 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 ENA2200 Amplifier

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: 012010 (corresponds to the Directory Number automatically assigned to the system controller in the Exigo Management Tool)
• IP Settings: Static IP
  • IP-address: set the correct IP address according to the IP address list above
  • Subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0
