In a Linux environment there are usually several ways to accomplish the editing
of parameters and similar tasks. Following are instructions for using programs or
scripts provided by AES for the purpose of setting up the TCP/IP parameters of
each port. A script provided by AES for configuring these parameters is initiated
by entering either the command “./editnetworketh0” or “./editnetworketh1”
from a command line prompt.
You will be instructed when to enter the above command, for now, read on.
The script will first run some preparation commands then start the KWrite Linux
text editor and open the appropriate configuration file. This opened file is a text
file that must contain the proper lines of configuration information while
maintaining the original format. After you save and close the editor the script will
continue by initiating and testing the new configuration. Watch the left side of
the screen for messages such as [ OK ] or [ Fail ] indicating success or failure
of those tests.
Note: AES ships the 7705i, pre-configured to operate as shown in Figure 4-1 as a
single receiver. This is to assist those who want a quick setup to be able to
perform radio testing and to become familiar with the system prior to a permanent
installation into your operational alarm monitoring system. Later or if your
intended initial installation will be connected to a LAN, WAN, you will have to
change the TCP/IP parameters as described on the following pages to operate with
your LAN/WAN and Internet network environments.
Contact your IT department for assistance with these parameters.
For a simple installation where a crossover Ethernet cable is used to connect the
7170 IP-Link Transceiver directly to Ethernet Port 1 (J10), eth0 of a single or the
first 7705i MultiNet Receiver, the following settings in this receiver along with
the recommended settings in the 7170 manual should allow communication:
See Figure 4-1. IPADDR=192.168.0.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
Perform the settings on Ethernet Ports 1 [eth0] & 2 [eth1].
IP address: Unique IP address to be assigned to this MultiNet Receiver.
Netmask: Netmask for the connected network.
Default gateway (IP): Gateway address for the connected network.
Primary nameserver: Nameserver for the connected network.
• Use caution, as incorrect settings could disable the system, especially if it
were already configured.
• Previous settings are shown in the fields when the configuration files are
opened. Once edited and saved you could loose those values if you have
not recorded them elsewhere.
