General EAS Overview

The R190A Hub Controller provides the ability to switch equipment at a remote site
or CATV Hub during EAS Alerts. It uses a LAN or WAN connection from a control
device such as the R189 One-Net EAS Encoder/Decoder. The unit has 4 relays
that are individually addressable. When used with the One-Net, they may be
triggered based on FIPS codes.

EAS Getting Started

Setting the IP address – The R190A comes with a default IP address of

192.168.1.2. One of the following methods can be used to access the device:

Directly connecting a networked host computer

Connect a CAT-5 network crossover cable to the RJ45 port at the back of the
R190A and to the RJ45 port of the network interface card (NIC) of a standalone
PC or notebook computer. Configure the standalone PC to use the static IP
address 192.168.1.3 with a net mask of 255.255.255.0. After the R190A
powers up it can be accessed via a Web browser on the host computer.

Launch a Web browser application and direct the URL to http:/192.168.1.2/.
The R190A will provide a gateway page and quickly redirect to the R190A
Home page. To edit the R190A’s IP address type the following IP address
http:/192.168.1.2/setup.html.

LAN connection with a networked host computer

Connect a standard CAT-5 network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of the
R190A into a routing hub or other network-switching device. You will likely
need assistance from a network administrator to insure the R190A’s default
network address of 192.168.1.2 will be visible on the network, or will not clash
with an existing node. Once the R190A is powered up it can be accessed via a
Web browser from any remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address

192.168.1.2.
