Environment
- Netcontroller 9680
- Hyperterminal
- NC2
- ACX2
- 5720
- 5740
Cause
The Netcontroller 9680, usually called the NC2, does not have a Hyperterminal interface in which to commission the controller.
Resolution
To commission the NC2 and the ACX2 please follow the directions below.
Note: Check with your system administrator for assistance.
- Disable the DHCP Services on your PC.
- Disconnect your computer from the network and set your IP address to 169.254.1.2 and your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
- Using a CAT5 cable (straight-through or crossover), connect the PC Ethernet port to the ACX 57xx Ethernet port.
- Run your web browser, then go to URL: http://169.254.1.1 to display the Andover Continuum Embedded WebServer page in the ACX 57xx Series controller.
- Select Controller Configuration from the WebServer page.
- Log on using the default Andover Continuum user name and password.
- Enter relevant configuration parameters on the WebServer Configuration web pages.
- After entering the parameters, click the Commit Changes/Restart Controller button on the WebServer page. (Restore the PC, and connect the controller to the network when it reboots.)
