Introduction The T464 may be used in conjunction with a T460 ± T461 to facilitate monitoring and administration of audio and visual media presentation devices via an Ethernet connection to a TCP/IP network. The administration terminal referred to in this document is a machine on the network that runs the JED AV Device Network Controller <hyperlink TBA> application. This is a free application, written in Java, used to monitor and control remote T464. This document: Assumes the reader has prior experience with network configuration and troubleshooting. Provides information necessary to install and setup a T464 on a network. Contains specific information about networks running on Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems (Windows) v1r0 JED Microprocessors Pty. Ltd. - Page 3 of 27

4 Installation Scenarios T464 Installation and Setup Check List Certain information relating to the network environment to which the T464 will be installed is required. In some cases, a network administration department will require the media access control address (MAC) in order to allocate an IPv4 address (IP) to the T464. Each T464 has a unique MAC. The MAC is printed on a label near the Ethernet connector. The MAC is also reported by the setup software accessed via a serial terminal. Details of how to do this may be found in the Manual Configuration section of this document. Other cases will require that the T464 be installed on an existing network about which little information, if any, is available. In this case, the installer will have to use various software tools to discover the required information. In any case, the installer will need to be able to determine the following: IP allocation method at the installation site, which may be: o AutoIP (APIPA - Windows default). o DHCP (e.g. Windows ICS, gateway modem, router). o MAC locked DHCP (e.g. network administration department). o Manually allocated IP. Access to TCP ports 7, 80, and UDP port If the administration terminal is on a different subnet to the installed T464. Connectivity between the administration terminal and an installed T464 using PING. Default Windows Network settings A PC connected to a network running Windows is configured for TCP/IP "to Obtain an IP address automatically" via DHCP, by default. If no DHCP server is found on the network, it will fall back to "Automatic Client Configuration" (AutoIP) to self-allocate an IP-address in the address-range: to with subnet mask The T464 default network settings will operate in both DHCP and AutoIP network environments v1r0 JED Microprocessors Pty. Ltd. - Page 4 of 27

5 DHCP Examples of some typical network installations employing DHCP are: A business intranet that has a gateway modem configured to provide internet access and DHCP service. A default Windows peer to peer private network at a school that has a single PC connected to the internet which has also been configured to provide internet connection sharing (Windows ICS). This PC is effectively a DHCP server and gateway. A university WAN that uses DHCP and MAC locked IP allocation across multiple subnets. MAC locked DHCP A network administration department may maintain a database of IP allocated to MAC addresses. The DHCP service running on such a network will only allocate an IP to a registered MAC. This network would typically comprise multiple subnets. The T464 default network settings will allow the DHCP server to configure the IP, subnet and gateway parameters automatically. Manually allocated IP This involves using a serial terminal to provide the T464 with: The allocated IP Subnet Mask Gateway IP (if the administration terminal is on a different subnet). Note: Some IP addresses (such as the Loopback Addresses range) may be allocated, but cannot be used. By convention, the numerically lowest and highest addresses of a subnet are not allocated, as they refer to the subnet s network ID and Broadcast address. Ports All communication between a T464 and the administration terminal uses TCP port Some network security software may block access to this port and it may be necessary to alter port usage permissions. Installations where the T464 and the administration terminal are on the same subnet may make use of auto discovery. Auto discovery relies on issuing a broadcast command via UDP on port and capturing the IP of each T464 that responds. Port TCP 80 is reserved for http and may be employed in future software versions. Subnets Typically, larger domains are partitioned into subnets. These networks usually employ DHCP to configure attached devices. Should it be necessary to manually configure a T464 on a network where the administration terminal resides on a different subnet, a gateway IP must be provided v1r0 JED Microprocessors Pty.

6 T464 Configuration Hardware Required T464 Installation and Setup PC or Notebook with Serial port or USB to Serial adapter. T460/T464 Software Upload Cable. Appropriate DC power source for T460/T464. A serial terminal is required to configure T464. Usually, a PC or notebook running serial terminal application software is employed. There are a number of serial terminal applications that may be downloaded from the internet at no cost. Bray++Terminal is one example of a Windows application. (Bray Terminal quirk: ESC key clears output screen). Note: If nothing better is available, HyperTerminal may be used, but expect to have to close and restart this application if it becomes unresponsive. A Windows XP security patch broke HyperTerminal years ago. HyperTerminal is not distributed with current Windows operating systems. The socket used to access the setup menu is an RS232 port, labelled PROJECTOR 0. A USB to RS232 converter will be required if the serial terminal does not have an RS232 port. A T460/T464 software upload cable is used to connect the T464 to the terminal. Configuration Interface The setup menu provides a means to assign values to various parameters which allow the T464 operation to be customised to suit a particular installation. These values are stored in memory that is not affected by loss of power. Serial Terminal Settings The following serial terminal parameters are used to access the setup menu: baud 8 bit data 1 stop bit No parity No handshake Display 80 columns (Change font size as required) v1r0 JED Microprocessors Pty. Ltd. - Page 6 of 27
