How-To set the IP number of the Archon controller
Archon.pdf, page 30:
By default, the controller listens for a TCP/IP connection at address
10.0.0.2 on port 4242 (the host is usually set to 10.0.0.1).
To change the IP address, connect to Archon using the GUI.
Set the new, desired IP address at the bottom left of the System tab
and click "Apply Network Configuration" (there will be error messages
because Archon is no longer responding on the old address).
Click Disconnect, change the Archon IP address at the top left to
the new address, and click Connect.
Select System- >Flash Active Config to make this change permanent.
Both Archon controllers are currently programmed to use IP address
10.7.1.169. For proper operation at LCO we need to re-program the
IP numbers to:
#0048: 200.28.147.191
#0125: 200.28.147.192
- Connect the Archon directly to your laptop via an ethernet cable
(Gigabit required).
- Make sure the WiFi connection is disabled.
- Set the IP number of your laptop to 10.7.1.160 and press the Apply button.
