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

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
