Connecting with the Web RCS
The Ascender 32 uses standard ethernet LAN networking. To connect the Web RCS to your new Ascender 32, you first need to connect a computer to the Ascender 32 using the Ethernet cable. Then on your computer open an internet browser which supports Flash® player.
Into this internet browser, please enter the IP address of the Ascender 32 displaying on the front panel screen.
The connection should start.
Often,computers areset to DHCP client (automatic IP detection) mode. You may need to change the IP address configuration on your computer before you can connect. These settings are found in the properties for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by operating system.
The default IP address on the Ascender 32 is
192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Therefore, you can assign your computer a static IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.
If the connection is not starting, please see:
•Be sure the computer IP address is on the same network and subnet as the Ascender 32.
•Be sure that no two devices have the same IP address (prevent IP conflicts)
•Check your network cable. You will need a crossover ethernet cable if you are connecting directly from the Ascender 32 to the computer. If a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet cables.
•Formoreinformation,pleaseseetheusermanual or contact your local technical support.
