Before you can use Synergis™ IX controllers in your system, you must configure their network settings.

Before you begin

Connect the Synergis IX controller to a network with DHCP enabled. If no DHCP server is available on your network when the Synergis IX unit is powered on, the unit has an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address of 169.254.x.x. If required, connect a wire link between Reader 1 D0 input and Reader 1 L1 output. Power cycle the unit to get the temporary IP address 192.168.111.222. Ensure that the controller is powered down and the wire link on reader port 1 is removed before powering on again.

Procedure

  1. Open a web browser.
  2. In the web browser's address bar, enter https://SIX followed by the MAC address of the unit without separators.
    NOTE: The MAC address is found by using the prefix 00:1B followed by the serial number. The serial number is on the label of the controller. For example, if the label says B243D4E6, then the MAC address is 00:1B:B2:43:D4:E6. Then the URL for that controller is https://SIX001BB243D4E6.
  3. Click System > Settings > Adapter – Onboard Ethernet.
    Synergis IX Portal, System Settings page, Onboard Ethernet Configuration.
  4. Enter a static IP address when DHCP is disabled.
    Ensure that the DHCP server has a static allocation for each unit when DHCP is enabled.
  5. Power cycle the unit.
    Ensure that the controller is powered down before powering on again.

After you finish

Configure the expander modules.
