Scannex ip.buffer Manuals

INITIAL CHECK • Check the ip.buffer kit has: Serial Cable & Adaptors, LAN Cable, Power Supply. • Obtain Client's IP, Subnet & Gateway addresses, also DNS server if used. Note: If the DNS server is not known, then set DNS1 to the Gateway Address INSTALLATION • Plug in the plug-top Power Supply Unit (PSU) and connect to the ip.buffer. • The Green Status (S) LED should flash approximately once a second indicating the unit is functioning correctly. Additionally, all LEDs (except the “L” LAN) will flash every 8 seconds. • Connect the ip.buffer to a network hub. The Yellow Link (L) LED should light and flash in time with network traffic Note: ip.buffer supports 10/100 networks but does NOT work on Gigabit-only networks. • If a modem is fitted: • PSTN: connect the Modem port to the telephone network • GPRS: Insert an appropriate SIM card (BEFORE the ip.buffer is powered up) and connect the GPRS antenna (see manual) GETTING STARTED (full User Manual & SECollector available from www.scannex.com) • On your PC, run the SEDiscover application and press the F5 key (or the magnifying glass). This will locate all ip.buffers on the LAN. (The default IP address is 192.168.0.235) • If the ip.buffer is already on the same subnet as your LAN, you can highlight the entry in SEDiscover and press the world icon to go straight to the web page of the ip.buffer. • If the ip.buffer is on another subnet, you can change its IP address if it has been powered up for 5 minutes or less. Double click the SEDiscover entry to make a change to the IP, Subnet, and Gateway values. • Once it is on your PC’s subnet you can browse with SEDiscover. You should see the ip.buffer’s main status page. • The Network settings can also be set from the Status page: select SETUP|Global:Settings and click on Network. • The default username and password (case sensitive) for the Setup pages are: Username = admin Password = secret CONFIGURATION (Source & Destination) • Now set up the Source (SETUP|Channel1|Source) to match the PBX (ie. Serial, TCP, UDP or FTP Server). If necessary change the Protocol to the appropriate PBX (default is ASCII Lines). Note: see “ip.buffer PBX Protocols” for further information • Serial PBX: Connect the Serial cable to the PBX RS232 port. The Source box should go green. • TCP/IP PBX: Set CONNECT to: • ipbuffer to Device (active/client): ie the buffer actively connects to the PBX. (Set Address to PBX IP address), or • Device to ipbuffer (passive/server): ie the buffer waits for a connection from the PBX. (the PBX must be setup to connect to the ip.buffer IP address). • In both cases the ip.buffer and PBX port numbers must agree. The Status page Source box should go green when a connection is made. • Once data is being collected, the Storage box (Status page) will show the byte count. • You can view incoming data by going to the Tools|General:Live Record View. • From the Status Page select SETUP|Channel1|Destination and set this to your required delivery method. (TCP Push/Server, FTP Push/Server, Email Push, HTTP Post, COM Port, Pass-through only, or Legacy Emulation). Note: Legacy Emulation will only appear if an Emulation script is loaded. • Test the collection method using your software. Scannex ip.buffer Installation Check List Iss: 20120208
