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: Set the correct Directory Number according to the list above
  • IP Settings: Static IP
    • IP-address: set the correct IP address according to the IP address list above
    • Subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Gateway: 10.5.11.1

Step 5: ECPIR-3P Setup

Configuration is done via the access panel’s web interface. After making sure that the access panel is connected to the same LAN and logical subnet as your PC, follow the procedure described below.

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 ECPIR-3P



Set the following values:

  • Station Mode: Use Exigo
  • Registration Settings:
  • Primary System Controller address: 10.5.11.11 (IP address previously set for PSC)
    • Directory Number: 011010 (corresponds to the Directory Number automatically assigned to the system controller in the Exigo Management Tool)
  • IP Settings: Static IP
    • IP-address: 10.5.11.200
    • Subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Gateway: 10.5.11.1
