Introduction
PRC-E Series controllers include embedded Web pages
that can be accessed by a computer (PC) through the
Maintenance Port using a standard browser. The PRC2000E
controller also provides remote access to these Web pages
using the Ethernet network connection. The pre-configured
Web pages can be used for configuration, monitoring, and
override control of the controller.
PC settings
The PRC-E Series controller uses the TCP/IP protocol to
communicate on its Maintenance and Ethernet network
ports. The PRC-E controller has an editable static IP
address on the Ethernet port and a built-in Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the Maintenance
Port to assign IP addresses automatically.
Accessing Web pages from the Maintenance Port
The Maintenance Port of the PRC-E controllers have a built-
in DHCP server. Most PCs are configured to receive IP
addresses automatically from a DHCP server, therefore, the
connection could be as simple as connecting an Ethernet
patch cable from the controller Maintenance Port to the PC
Ethernet port and the PC will obtain an IP address from the
PRC-E controller.
If DHCP is not the IP network configuration setting on your
PC, the network configuration will need to be edited for
successful connection to the controller.
See the “Ethernet Connection” section of this document
for information on a common PC network configuration
(see page 15).
If further assistance is needed, contact your IT support.
Once connected and an IP address is received, the
PRC-E controller can be accessed using any standard Web
browser. The Maintenance Port of the PRC-E controller has
a default IP address of 192.168.222.1.
Connecting to the controller through the
Maintenance Port
Connect the PC to the Maintenance Port using a standard
patch cable, open your Web browser of choice.
Type 192.168.222.1 in the address field.
For further instruction, see the “Logging into the PRC-E
Web Page” section of this document (see page 15).
Accessing the Web page from the Ethernet
network connection (PRC2000E only)
When using the Ethernet network connection to connect
the PRC-E controllers, a controller static IP address must be
used for this network connection. The PRC2000E controller
default static IP address is 10.0.222.1. This can be changed
using the LCD touchscreen display, the Web page through
the Maintenance Port (See the “Maintenance Port Access”
section on page 15) or Ethernet port of the PRC2000E
using the default IP address.
A standard Ethernet patch cable can be used when directly
connecting the PC to the PRC2000E controller. The PC
must be configured with a static IP address within the
same network as the PRC2000E controller. For the default
IP address network connection, a usable address would be
10.0.222.100 for the PC configuration. See the “Ethernet
Connection” section of this document or contact your IT
support for further assistance (see page 15).
Connecting to the controller through the
Ethernet port
Once the PRC2000E controller and PC are set up with the
correct IP address configuration, connect the PRC2000E
Ethernet port to the PC or building’s Ethernet network.
Open your Web browser of choice.
In the address field, type the address of the PRC2000E
controller, the default 10.0.222.1 or the new address, if
assigned.
