3 Page 3/12 1. INTRODUCTION The Alcatel-Lucent 4x16 & 6x16 character IP wallboards are wallboards that include 4 and 6 color lines of 16 alphanumeric characters. 2. SAFETY Please carefully read this section before using the wallboard. 2.1 Operating Requirements Do not install the wallboard in any location exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat. Maximum operating temperature = 40 C. Do not subject the wallboard to any condensation or water spray. Do not install the wallboard in any environment where pollution exceeds level Power Source The wallboard must be installed by a qualified staff. The power socket must be installed near the wallboard and easily reachable. Otherwise, a quickly-accessible shutoff device must be integrated into the fixed installation. 2.3 Maintenance Unplug the wallboard before any maintenance operation. Do not use any liquid cleaners or sprays. Use a wet cloth. Do not disassemble the wallboard. There is no user-replaceable part within the wallboard. Any improper reassembly could cause injuries due to electric shocks. If any maintenance or repair operation is required, supply the wallboard to a qualified staff.

The wallboard is connected to the same local Ethernet network as the CSS control panel (managed from the Wall Board Manager application). 4.1 Synopsis PC CCS - WBM Wallboard 10Mbit Ethernet 5. INSTALLATION 5.1 Installation Procedure 1. Check the list of supplies. 2. Complete the wall attachment. 3. Complete the configuration (micro-switchs ). 4. Complete the connections.

Micro-switchs are read when the wallboard is started: All Micro-switchs must be at Off SW8 SW1 ON

7 Page 7/ Wallboard Connections Connections are made to the top panel of the wallboard. The Ethernet cable from the HUB is connected to the RJ45 Ethernet plug directly.. Use the crossed Ethernet cable when the wallboard is connected to a PC directly. To comply with EMC rules, the cable type must be FTP or STP Main supply Ethernet plug V24/Current Loop Connection 5.6 COMMISSIONING 5.7 Commissioning Procedure 1. Turn the power on. 2. Manage the IP settings. 5.8 Power On When powered on, the wallboard is started. Before the normal operating mode, there is an identification stage followed by a self-test. In the identification stage, the odd-numbered lines show the wallboard software version, and the second line shows the wallboard IP address. The self-test activates every wallboard dot, line after line, in both basic colors: red and green. This allows visually checking that every wallboard dot works properly. 5.9 IP Setting Management IP settings can be accessed from a PC. A Web browser can be used to connect to the wallboard s IP address. At power on, the wallboard s IP address is displayed in the second line.

8 Page 8/ First Commissioning Follow the procedure below: 1. Turn the power on. 2. Connect the wallboard to the PC directly, using the crossed Ethernet cable as supplied. Crossed Ethernet Wallboard 3. Change the PC network settings to an IP address compatible with the wallboard s IP address, e.g if the wallboard is set to its default address Windows 98 example - Change network neighborhood properties: >

9 Page 9/12 Windows NT example: > 4. With a Web browser, connect to the wallboard s IP address ( for the default address) to open the wallboard s setup page. 5. Enter the new settings and validate. To apply the new settings, the wallboard will be reset a few seconds after validation.

10 Page 10/12 Internet Explorer example: Address : Wallboard address (default: 0). Baud rate : Output rate of the serial connection (default: 9,600). Buzzer duration : Duration of the buzzer in seconds (default: 3). IP address : IP address (default: ). Net mask : Sub-network mask (default: ). Gateway : Gateway address. To be filled in to access the settings from another network (default: blank).

11 Page 11/ Setting Change To change the settings of a wallboard in operation, proceed as follows: 1. Use a PC connected to the same network as the wallboard. Wallboard 10Mbit Ethernet 2. Using a Web browser, connect to the wallboard s IP address. 3. Change the settings. Entering new settings causes the wallboard to be reset a few seconds after validation.

12 Page 12/12 6. TROUBLESHOOTING This section will be extended as issues are found and solutions provided. Please feel free to give us your feedback. Ethernet Connection: Can not communicate with the wallboard Cause Solution The Web browser goes through a proxy server to connect to the Internet. In the browser settings, remove the proxy server or specify that the proxy server should not be used to connect to the wallboard s IP address. Error in the sub-network mask or gateway address. Turn the wallboard off, install micro-switch SW4, turn the wallboard back on, and remove micro-switch SW4. This allows resetting the wallboard to its default parameters (IP Address: ). Then, follow the first commissioning instructions.
