Introduction

Ethernet

• The ES-450SPE is a compact controller for video editing

applications. The ES-450SPE is a companion product to
software based applications.

• ES-450SPE features include durable transport buttons,

professional Jog Wheel / Shuttle Ring for convenient picture
search operations, an easy to read 16 character LCD display
and an integrated data and power cable to minimize desktop
clutter.

• The ES-450SPE has the ability to work with the JLCooper

eBOX. In this application, the ES-450SPE connects to the
eBOX via an Ethernet connection. The eBOX has four serial
ports that can connect to four VTRs or video server channels as
illustrated in the image below.

Connecting

Connecting the ES-450SPE is straightforward. Simply connect the
ES-450SPE to a free Ethernet port on your network. The ES­450SPE is powered from the power connector on the rear panel.

To configure the ES-450J USB to operate with a specific software
application, refer to the setup documentation for that software
application.

The ES-450SPE uses TCP/IP to communicate with a host device
such as a computer.

Note: Before configuring your JLCooper Ethernet based controller,
you will need a unique IP address for each controller you wish to use.
Your network administrator can supply this to you.

Configuring the Ethernet Int e rface

1. Install the Lantronix Device Installer v4.x.x.x and Redirector

This is located on the Install CD that came with the product.
Alternately, it can be downloaded from the JLCooper Support
Site at: http://jlcooper.com/pages/downloads.html.

2. Launch Device Installer.

Press Search. The Device Installer application will look for all
the Lantronix products on your network. The factory default of
the Ethernet Interface is 192.168.200.114. If you do not see
this, you will need to change the IP address of your computer
to 192.168.200.nnn (for example, 192.168.200.1) and subnet to

255.255.255.0 so the computer can communicate with the
controller.

Also, if there is more than one Ethernet Interface on the
network, there will be an IP address conflict that will need to
be resolved before using the units.

3. Assign an IP Address to the Controller.

The Ethernet interface in your JLCooper Controller is capable
of automatically obtaining an IP address from a DHCP server.
If you have a DHCP server on your network, you will see a
DHCP assigned IP address. Because it is possible for DHCP
assigned IP addresses to expire and get assigned to other
devices, it is strongly recommended that you manually assign a
fixed IP address to the controller.

In the Device Installer window, highlight the item that matches
the Hardware (MAC) Address of your controller.

Click on Assign IP and follow the directions in the following
dialog boxes.

8

Enter your IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway in the
text boxes. You can assign any valid IP address to the Ethernet
interface. In the example below, the IP address is set to

192.168.254.165, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and the
Default Gateway is 192.168.254.254.

Click Assign.

9

Click Finish.

Note: If you change the IP address to an address that is not in your
subnet, you will not be able to connect to the Ethern e t Interface until
you change the IP address of your computer to an address that is in the
subnet range of the Ethernet Interface.

4. Configure device settings.

In the Device Installer window, highlight the item that matches
the Hardware (MAC) Address of your controller.

Double click the item and the Device Details window will open as
shown below. Click on the Web Configuration tab.
