Assigning an IP address and bundle number in NWare
You can use NWare devices to specify the bundle number and IP address settings. This
method utilizes the BOOTP and SNMP features of the nControl or nTouch 180. Though this
method is helpful in any size install, it is especially helpful and suited for larger installations,
as it uses switch port discovery.
Note:
Before you install the units, it is important that you consider the IP address range that
will be used in your installation.
To assign an IP address and bundle number in NWare
1.
Open NWare.

Drag an nControl or nTouch 180 node over to the design page.

Expand the
Hardware
folder and drag an nWall over to the design page.
5.
Open the device properties on the nControl / nTouch 180 node.

CobraNet BOOTP
check box.

Select the
SNMP Discovery
check box.

, then wire the first output wiring node on the
Agent Discovery
block to the input wiring node on the

block.
16.
Deploy the project and specify an identifier for the nWall using the
Agent Discovery
device.
You could use the
Sys Name
setting, which is
CS18100
, by default.
When the nWall has been discovered, an IP address will be assigned to it automatically, and
this will be displayed on the control surface of the nWall device. You can then specify the
bundle number you want to use for transmission of audio in the
Bundle
box.
If you simply wish to replace the nWall, the Agent Discovery device is used to discover its IP
address as long as the identifier is correct according to the category you have specified.
