6 Windows network & firewall setup:For the ArtistaNET to function properly, it is necessary to deactivate TCP-Port 28242 of the Windows-Firewall before

continuing with the installation. Please follow the steps below.

If using another type of firewall, the port should be deactivated in a similar manner.

1. Plug in the ArtistaNET card as described in Chapter 2. Use either a direct connection by using a crossovercable or connect via a network hub or switch using standard cables.

2. Open the Network device settings, select Properties.

7.2 Resetting the ArtistaNet to its default settingsThere are two ways to return the ArtistaNet to its default settings. One way is to perform a hardware reset as described

below. The other is through use of the web interface described in the very first part ofchapter 8.5.

Hardware Reset Procedure:

Short CN22 Pins 5 and 6

Supply power to the ArtistaNet

Wait at least 15 seconds

Unshort the pins

Allow the device to boot-up

Upon resetting the card to factory defaults, the card will be set to maintenance/rescue mode. From there, you

can set the card to factory default via Restart Artista and then by choosing the option Reset network

configuration to factory defaults and restarting the card.

Important Note:

When the card is not restarted from the maintenance/rescue mode, you will not be able to communicate with theArtista driver and will not see the bootup logo upon repowering the card!

You must restart from this mode with proper settings in order to return the card back to the normal run mode!

8 Web Browser based configuration interfaceThe ArtistaNet configuration interface can be used with any common web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera,

Konqueror and many others).

Establish the connection by typing the URL: https://192.168.0.1 (please notice the https) in your browser. Theconfiguration interface is protected by SSL encryption as well as a password as mentioned above.

You must accept an SSL certificate issued to Distec GmbH, Research & Design in order to continue. The SSL encryption

prevents your login password from being sniffed out and compromised over the network.

On some systems, problems caused by the browsers cache may occur. To avoid problems during configuration, please

disable your browser cache while configuring the ArtistaNET devices and flush your browser cache after each

configuration step.

After confirming the SSL certificate it is required to type in your login name and password:

8.1 Network ConfigurationNote:Each ArtistaNET and each corresponding server require a unique IP. Please ensure that each corresponding server

keeps its IP address constant. To achieve this, assign static IP addresses to the corresponding servers and for each

ArtistaNET. If your network uses DHCP, ensure that the IP addresses are not used by the DHCP scope and/or that a

reservation is made for each IP used by the ArtistaNET and corresponding servers. Please contact your network

administrator for details.

The first step in configuring the ArtistaNET, involve setting up the network parameters. The settings entered can be

saved by clicking the Submit configuration button. If you want to reset the fields, click Reset configuration. This will

have no effect on the actual configuration settings. It only clears the form data.

If you like to use DHCP to configure network on your device dynamically, just tick the Use DHCP checkbox:

To reach your device by its Hostname your DHCP server has to be able to pass Hostnames to the DNS. The hostname

will have the following form: ArtistaNet-xx-xx-xx (ArtistaNet- followed by the last 3 Bytes of its MAC address). If you are

not sure what your current network settings are and thus not able to connect to your device anymore you can see therelevant settings at device start-up on its screen. As a last resort you can make hardware reset of your device which will

reset everything to default.

If DHCP setup fails, the ArtistaNETs network will be configured with default settings.

If you have a working DNS system in your network it is also possible to specify the ArtistaNET Server with its hostname.

Dont forget to reboot your device when network setup is done.
