Overview
The FC500IP is an IP Module which is used to connect control units in the FC500
range to a LAN. The IP Module may be connected to a LAN using a private IP ad-
dress or a DHCP address. The same procedures may be performed using the FireC-
lass500 console application, either through the serial port or the network. With a
public IP address, it is also possible to manage and monitor the control unit form
anywhere in the world, as long as you have access to the Internet.
+
Only one PC may be connected to the control unit at a time, via LAN or WAN. Any
attempt to connect another PC to the same control unit will fail.
Component identification
Throughout the instruction manual, numbers in bold refer to the components identi-
fied in Figure 1 (this can be found at the end of the instruction manual). These com-
ponents are described in the following table:

Description of the indicator lights
The IP Module is equipped with the following indicator lights:
YELLOW light (6) This indicator light is located on the LAN connector (5) and pro-
vides a signal when traffic is detected between the IP Module and the LAN.
GREEN light (7) This indicator light is located on the LAN connector (5) and provi-
des a signal when the LAN is detected:
Ø lit = LAN detected; off =Ø LAN not detected.
S indicator light (4) Displays the LAN connection speed:
Ø off = 10 Mbps;Ø lit = 100 Mbps.
L indicator light (8) Displays the events listed in the table below.

The software used for programming the IP module offers the option of ena-
bling/disabling the signals for the events listed in the table above. Only the "LAN
not detected" signal is enabled by default until the IP module is programmed
using the software provided
If one of the events listed in the above table occurs, the L indicator light flashes a
number of times to correspond with the value given in the Flashes column, with an
interval of 1 second. If several events occur simultaneously, the L indicator light will
signal the event with the greatest priority (see Pr. column in the above table). The slow
blinking (about every 5 sec.) of L indicator shows the normal operation of board.
n Open collector output
The IP module has an Open Collector output, see the OC on the terminal block (1).
This output is activated (it goes to the earthing system) for the following events:

LAN not detected
There is no connection between the IP Module
and the hub or local router

The software used for programming the IP module offers the option of ena-
bling/disabling the Open Collector outlput for the events listed in the table above.
Until the IP module is programmed using the software provided, the Open Collec-
tor output is disabled.
Installation
The IP Module should be installed to the base of the control unit, as illustrated in Fi-
gure 1 (which can be found at the end of the instruction manual). Proceed as follows:
!
Before installing the IP Module, cut the control unit off from its power supply (it
should be disconnected from the electricity mains and the batteries). If this is
not possible, do not connect the IP Module power supply until the very end of
the process: connect terminal [M] first, followed by terminal [+V].
1. Open the control unit as described in the corresponding set of instructions.
2. Fix the IP Module to the base of the control unit using the screws supplied, making
sure it is correctly aligned with the screw anchor holes (15).
3. Connect connector 2 on the IP Module to the serial port on the control unit (14)
using the PC-Link cable supplied (11).
+
Alternatively use the flat cable (see note last page).
4. Connect connector 5 to the LAN using an Ethernet cable.
+
Use a category 5 (or better) shielded Ethernet cable (STP or FTP).
5. Where present, connect the [OC] terminal to terminal block 1.
6. Connect terminals [+V] and [M] on terminal block 1 to the corresponding terminals
[12 V] and [M] on the control unit motherboard (16).
7. Reconnect the control unit to the power supply.
8. Program the IP Module as described in the "Programming" paragraph.
Programming
Using the FireClass500 Console application. This paragraph describes the parame-
ters corresponding to the IP Module. For further information relating to the installation
and operation of the FireClass500 Console application, programming procedures and
any other parameters not described in this paragraph, please refer to the control unit
INSTRUCTION MANUAL. The parameters corresponding to the IP Module may be
selected and programmed via the IP Module screen as described below.
n IP Module screen
The IP Module screen is used to program the parameters corresponding to the IP
Module as described below.
Retrieve information from ... This section is used to set the parameters required for
communication with the IP Module.
Ø IP address – Enter the IP address assigned to the IP Module you wish to pro-
gram or, if DHCP (dynamic IP address) mode has been selected, contact the net-
work administrator to request details of the IP address assigned to the IP Module.
Alternatively, follow the procedure outlined in the "View IP address" paragraph to
view the IP address on the control unit display.
The default setting is 192.168.0.101.
Ø IP Module port – Enter the details of the port assigned to the IP Module you wish
to program (contact the network administrator).
The default setting is 3064.
Ø IP Module code – Enter the access code assigned to the IP Module you wish to
program. The default setting is 5555.
Ø Encryption key – Enter the encryption key assigned to the IP Module you wish
to program. The default setting is 32 zeros.
Procedure The Procedure section separates the buttons into groups in order to
carry out certain procedures (described below) for the connected IP Module (see
"Retrieve information from...").
Download to IP Module – Select this button to download the settings pro-
grammed on the connected IP Module.
Upload from IP Module – Select this button to send the settings from the
screen to the connected IP Module.
Default settings – Select this button to restore the default settings of the con-
nected IP Module.
Update firmware – Select this button to update the firmware for the connec-
ted IP Module.
