8 Button IP Controller Installation & Operation Manual

Introduction

The 8 Button IP Controller (Model: AV-IP-C8-WH) is a versatile wall or table-top
mounted control panel for West Penn Wire AV over IP devices, select Matrix Switches,
and third party products. Each button is programmable. The unit supports one (1)
Ethernet port (for TCP/IP and Telnet), two (2) RS-232 ports, one (1) Infrared port, and
two (2) Relay ports, for control of end devices. The 8 Button IP Controller can control
West Penn Wire products including West Penn Wire’s AV over IP system via the
AV-IP-NC811 IP Device Controller, plus TCP/IP, Telnet and RS-232 managed Matrix
Switches, as well as third party devices such as projectors and projector screens,
displays, AV sources and other similar devices.

The AV-IP-C8-WH supports a web interface, allowing it to be configured and
managed via a browser. The web interface allows the unit keys to be programmed
individually, supports IR learning and unit configuration.

Configuation: Unit Initialization

Before initial use, the user must initialize (factory reset) the AV-IP-C8-WH
configuration. To initialize the unit, press and hold the first, third and fifth key as
indicated below. Continue to hold these keys while the unit goes through the
following illuminated key color sequence, including the lights of these three buttons
will turn off, then each of the eight buttons will illuminate (turn on) in red one by one
until all are lit, and then they will all flash in green to end the sequence. This
sequence is shown below. Note that this restores the factory default settings.

Web Server

The units comes with a factory default IP Address of: 192.168.168.54

To access the unit web server, the user can directly connect a PC LAN port to the
AV-IP-C8-WH LAN port with a straight polarity Ethernet cable. After connecting the
PC and 8 Button IP Controller, go to the PC network connection section to change the
PC’s IP property status to “Static IP” and set the PC IP address to say 192.168.168.178,
Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway to 192.168.168.1, as shown
below. Once done, open a web browser and enter the IP Address 192.168.168.54 to
access to the AV-IP-C8-WH web server.

8 Button IP Controller Installation & Operation Manual

The user must now set the 8 Button IP Controller to the same IP segment as the local
area network where the device will be used. To accomplish this go to the Network
section via the AV-IP-C8-WH web interface, see below, and set the 8 Button IP
Controller IP address accordingly to match the local area network IP Address setting.

For example if the LAN IP segment is set as 192.168.88.xxx, then set the product IP
Address to 192.168.88.1xx. Once the IP Address is set, then the user can access this
device in the intended local area network via the AV-IP-C8-WH web interface using
the IP Address 192.168.88.1xx (where xx represents the settings selected above).
