4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION - MUST READ 1) The CardAccess.UniverseFinder utility was previously named SDCFinder. If your software contains the old SDCFinder utility, it is recommended to get the updated version of the utility named CardAccess.UniverseFinder.exe. Note: The older SDCFinder utility required you to enter the last 3 digits of the MAC address prior to searching and discovering. 2) A DHCP enabled router is recommended to provide an IP address to the CICP2100 Network Adapter. The CICP2100 network adapter defaults to DHCP mode. 3) A computer with the CardAccess.Universe Finder utility and a supported web browser is required to configure the CICP2100 network adapter. The supported web browsers are Chrome and Internet Explorer (Chrome is recommended). 4) The computer with the CardAccess.Universe Finder utility and supported browser must be on the same subnet as the IP address provided by the DHCP enabled Router or by an APIPA address. Very Important: To RESET (clear) any previously programmed IP address information, you must install a jumper (apply a short) across the J3 jumper on the Ethernet Interface board while cycling power to the CICP2100. This will default the network adapter back to the default DHCP mode. After the CICP2100 powers up, YOU MUST remove the jumper from J3 after 5 secs. J3 is the two pins closest to the cutout in the PCB. 5) The early versions of ethernet firmware did not support APIPA. Without a DHCP enabled router, and no support for APIPA, it could be very difficult to initially discover the CICP2100. The support for APIPA started with Ethernet firmware version If the CICP2100 Ethernet firmware is not V or later, it is recommended to update the firmware using the CardAccess.UniverseFinder.exe utility. 4

5 6) The early versions of ethernet firmware did not give you the ability to change the port. The port defaulted to The new ethernet firmware provides the ability to change the port number. Scope This document contains information regarding the programming of the CICP2100 ethernet network adapter using the Universe Finder utility. The Universe Finder utility will discover the CICP2100. The Configuration Web Interface portion of the utility is used to view the contents of the network adapter and to program in a static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, Baud Rate and Port. By default, the CICP2100 network adapter defaults to DHCP. Prerequisites DHCP enabled Router Mac Address of the CICP2100 Ethernet Network Adapter A computer with a supported browser (Chrome or Internet Explorer) Universe Finder utility V or later Ethernet Network Adapter Firmware version or later 5

7 STEP 1: CICP2100 Physical Connection (Refer to Figure 1) 1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the CICP2100 network adapter to a DHCP enabled router or network (refer to figure 1). 2. Power up the CICP2100. The CICP2100 will default to DHCP mode, and will request and obtain an IP address from an available DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not found and the latest Ethernet firmware is in the CICP2100, an APIPA address should be assigned to the CICP2100. STEP 2: Launch the CardAccess.UniverseFinder Version or later utility to discover the CICP Launch the Universe Finder utility. The Universe Finder utility executable name is CardAccess.UniverseFinder.exe. After launching the utility, the CICP2100 IP Discover main screen will display. 2. On the main screen, select CICP2100 and click Discover (refer to Figure 2). Note: On the older SDCFinder.exe, you must type in the last three digits of the CICP2100 Network Adapter MAC address. Figure 2. 7

8 3. If the device is found, the middle of the screen will display the mac address and IP address of the devices found. (refer to Figure 3). The status bar will also display the number of devices found (n device(s) found). Figure 3. 4) At this point, select your device in the list. Once selected, you must launch the Configuration Web Interface by clicking the Launch button (refer to Figure 4). NOTE: It is not recommended to launch the Configuration Web Interface outside of the Universe Finder utility. Figure 4. 8

9 STEP 3: View the current Network information 1) After a successful launch of the Configuration Web Interface, the main page displays as per below. View the current network information including the Firmware Version, Device IP and Device Mac. If the correct MAC address is displaying, this confirms you are viewing the correct device. Verify the IP Address displaying is a Static IP Address. If not, program in a static IP address. The IP address must also be programmed into the CardAccess software and must never change. 2) If a different IP address needs to be programmed in, perform the following steps. Note: As previous mentioned, the Firmware version should be or later (see below). If it is not, please contact Continental Technical Support for the latest firmware file. Figure 5. 9

10 STEP 4: (Required) Programming in a static IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, baud rate and Port number. 1) As previously mentioned, the CICP2100 network adapter defaults to DHCP and should obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or be assigned an APIPA address. This IP address must be programmed into the CardAccess software, and must never change. To prevent it from changing, it is recommended to program in a static IP address into the CICP2100 network adapter. 2) To program in a static IP Address, click Setup at the home page (refer to figure 6). The Setup screen displays with an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. Select Use Static IP and type in the static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway (refer to figure 6). 3) Select the desired baud rate (refer to figure 6). 4) Select the desired port number (refer to figure 6). Note: It is recommended to leave it at port ) Click Save. Figure 6. 10

11 APPENDIX A Resetting IP Address and defaulting back to DHCP (refer to figure 7) If the Universe Finder utility fails to find the CICP2100, there might be an incorrect IP address already programmed into the Ethernet Network adaptor that is on a different subnet. To clear any previously programmed IP address information, you must install a jumper (apply a short) across the J3 jumper on the Network Interface board while cycling power to the CICP2100. This will default the network adapter back to the default DHCP mode. After the CICP2100 powers up, YOU MUST remove the jumper from J3 after 5 seconds. Note: J3 is the two pins closest to the cutout in the board. Disregard any silkscreen references to J3. Figure 7. 11

12 APPENDIX B Resetting Login credentials for Universe Finder utility. To RESET the Configuration Web Interface login credentials back to the default credentials, you must install a jumper (apply a short) across the J5 jumper while cycling power to the CICP2100. After the CICP2100 powers up, YOU MUST remove the jumper from J5 after 5 secs. This procedure will default the Username back to admin and Password back to admin. To change the password, select Change password. Figure 7. Figure 8. THE END. 12
