ZIGEN IP-LOGIC CONTROLLER ZIG-IP-Essential

Product Overview:

The Essentials unit is the IP-Logic system control server featuring a built-in WebServer for managing all controls of IP-Logic devices. The basic wiring diagram above depicts the isolated Ethernet connectivity between the IP-Logic AVoIP domain and the facility ethernet. For optimum video and audio performance, the AVoIP network domain must be isolated from the facility’s main network infrastructure. The facility Ethernet is used to connect Essentials with 3rd Party Control Systems. Ensure that the latest 3rd Party Control System drivers are installed before use. It is highly recommended to use a DHCP server within the AVoIP network. Most managed switches have built-in DHCP servers that may have to be enabled. Consult the network switch user manual. To access the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of Essentials, connect a computer to the facility Ethernet and type the following hostname “ipessentials.local” on a web browser (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari). If the hostname is not found, compare the system wiring with the basic wiring diagram shown above. If the hostname is still not found, the Essentials IP Address may have to be entered on the browser instead of its hostname. Essentials IP Address can be identified by using a utility called “Zignet-Finder.exe.” (download this tool from the Zigen website). Run the utility to find any Zigen network connected device regardless of its subnet location within the facility. Once the IPLogic device is found, Zignet-Finder will show the device’s network information such as IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. The network parameters of discovered devices can also be changed by the utility. Essentials will automatically download the latest firmware/software of all connected IP-Logic devices if the facility Ethernet is connected to the Internet. The user will be prompted to update the IP-Logic devices once the new firmware/software has been downloaded successfully.
