IP Board Reset – Select this button to reset the IP Module connected.
IP address This section is used to set the parameters corresponding to the IP address.
Ø DHCP – Select this option if you wish to use a dynamic address for the IP Module
you are programming.
Ø Manual settings – Select this option if you wish to assign a static IP address to
the IP Module you are programming, then set the following parameters:
- IP address: enter the IP address to be assigned to the IP Module; the network ad-
ministrator will provide you with this information. The default setting is
192.168.0.101.
- Subnet mask: this must be the same as the subnet mask for the local network; only
one subnet mask is valid for each local network. All nodes on the same subnet will
use the same subnet mask; the network administrator will provide you with this infor-
mation. The default setting is 255.255.0.0.
- Gateway IP address: enter the IP address of the local gateway which may be used by
the IP Module to connect to a PC outside the LAN (WAN). The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
General options This section is used to select the general options for the IP Module.
Ø Encryption key – If it has been programmed, the IP Module will use this key to
encode and decode the packets exchanged with the PC. The encryption key may
include between 1 and 32 hexadecimal characters. To disable encryption, enter
0 (zero). If the encryption key does not correspond to that of the IP Module, com-
munication between the PC and the IP Module will NOT be permitted.
The default setting is 0 (encryption key not enabled).
Ø Console port – This is the port which should be used to communicate with the IP
Module. The default setting is 3064.
Ø DLS port – This is the port which should be used to communicate with the control
unit. The default setting is 3062.
Ø Console code – This code should be applied when the FireClass 500 Console is
used to program the IP Module, either remotely or locally. The code should con-
sist of 4 hexadecimal digits. The default setting is 5555.
Ø Idle Connection Timeout – Enter the maximum time period during which no
data is transmitted before the connection is terminated.
The default setting is 20 seconds.
LED Trouble mask / Output Trouble mask This section can be used to ena-
ble/disable signals from the OC output and the indicator light L (8), for certain events
recognised by the IP Module: Network Absent, TLink Remote Programming,
(see paragraph "Description of the indicator lights" for a description of these events).
A tick indicates that the corresponding event will be signalled! The LAN not detected
event indication is enabled by default.
Read-only options The values in this section cannot be modified. They display in-
formation relating to the connected IP Module.
Ø MAC Address – Displays the MAC address of the IP Module: the MAC address is a
unique identification number assigned to every IP device throughout the world.
Ø Software version – Displays the version of the program running on the IP Module.
Ø Boot version – Displays the boot version.
Ø Current IP address – Displays the IP address assigned to the IP Module.
Ethernet speed This section is used to set the parameters corresponding to the
Ethernet interface of the IP Module: the Auto setting is selected by default.
Ø Auto – If this option is enabled, the IP Module will take the speed and duplex va-
lues from the network. If this option is disabled, the speed and duplex values
must be set as described below.
Ø Speed – If the Auto option is disabled, set the speed value as appropriate: 10
Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Ø Duplex – If the Auto option is disabled, set the Data exchange (Duplex) mode as
appropriate: Half or Full.
Output polarity This section is used to set the operating mode of the OC output
on the IP Module.
Ø Open on trouble – The outlet is suspended when a breakdown occurs (default
setting).
Ø Close on trouble – The output is connected to the earthing system when a bre-
akdown occurs.
n Initial programming
To program the IP Module for the first time, a LAN consisting of the IP Module and
the PC must be created. Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the PC., if present.
2. Connect the IP Module to the PC using a network cable.
3. Change the IP address of the PC to 192.168.0.XXX (see below).
4. Start the FireClass 500 Console application.
5. Set the IP address of the IP Module to an address which is valid for the network to which
it will be connected.
6
6. Select the button
(Send to IP Module): make sure that the IP Module code
is 5555.
7. Restore the original IP address of the PC (see below).
8. Reinstall the original wiring and connect the FC500IP to the established network.
IP Receiver
Ø Account Code – The account number is used by the central station to distin-
guish between transmitter. There is one account number programmable for the
FC500IP. Default value: (0000FFFFFF).
+
Account codes 0000FFFFFF,FFFFFFFFFF and 0000000000 are not valid accounts.
Ø Supervision – To enable Supervision mode, to tick this option.
Main
Ø IP_Address – Static IP address for the receiver. Program the IP address of the
central station receiver. If a IP receiver is not connected program 0.0.0.0 address.
Default value: 000.000.000.000.
Ø Local Port and Remote Port – These values show the ports to communicate
with receiver. The same receiver supplies these values.
Default values:3060 (Local Port) and 3061 (Remote Port).
Backup
Ø Receiver IP – Static IP address for the second receiver. Program the IP address
of the second receiver. Default value: 000.000.000.000.
+
The receiver will be used for backup only; not checked.
Ø Local Port and Remote Port – These values represent the ports to be used for
communication with the backup receiver.
Default values: 3065 (Local Port) and 3066 (Remote Port).
Third
Ø Receiver IP – This is the IP address assigned to the receiver of the domotics
system with which you wish to interact. It is supplied by the receiver itself.
Default value: 40000.
Local Port and Remote Port – These values represent the ports to be used when
communicating with the domotics system receiver. They are supplied by the receiver
itself. Default value: 40001.
+
The receiver will be used for the domotics system only; not checked.
Changing the IP address of the PC For Windows XP or later versions, proceed
as follows:
1. Open the network connection properties window.
2. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) tab.
3. Select the Properties button: The Properties – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) win-
dow will be opened.
4. Enable the option "Use this IP address".
5. Enter the value 192.168.0.XXX in the IP address box (with XXX other than 101).
Once the IP Module programming is complete, restore the IP address of the PC
using the same procedure.
n Restore default settings
The default settings may be restored as described below.
+
When the default settings are restored, it will NO LONGER be possible to communi-
cate with the IP Module and the control unit via the LAN; communication will only be
possible using the procedure described in the paragraph "Initial programming
Via software Select the button
Via hardware Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the IP Module from the power supply: disconnect terminal [+V] on ter-
minal block 1.
2. Disconnect the PC-Link cable (11) from connector 2 (or disconnect the flat cable,
see note last page).
3. Short-circuit the first two terminals on connector 2, marked with the symbol

5. Reconnect the PC-Link cable (11) to connector 2 (or reconnect the flat cable, see
note last page).
View IP address
The IP address assigned to the IP Module may be viewed on the control unit display.
To do so, proceed as follows:
