Overview

Configuring the HomeWorks® P5 processor to communicate over a network takes not only

knowl-edge of the HomeWorks system, but of networking as well. HomeWorks installers with limited net-working knowledge are advised to contact a netnet-working professional before attempting to connect to HomeWorks processors via a network. This specification will help a HomeWorks installer commu-nicate the P5 processor configurations to a network professional.

The HomeWorks installer will make any necessary changes to the P5 processor and the network professional can make any necessary changes to the networking equipment. Use the worksheet at the end of this document to record the P5 processor configuration(s).

This specification applies to the current (non-beta 1.22) or newer versions of the HomeWorks IlluminationTM software.

Single Ethernet Port

• IEEE® 802.3 Auto-Sensing 10BaseT / 100BaseTX

Protocols Used

• TCP, UDP, IP, ARP, DHCP, ICMP, TELNET, FTP, NBNS

TCP / IP Settings

• DHCP or static* configuration <factory default = DHCP> • IP Address*: <static or dynamic configuration>

• Subnet Mask*: < static or dynamic configuration> • Gateway*: <static or dynamic configuration> • Telnet Port: <factory default = 23>

• FTP Port: <factory default = 21> • HTTP Port: <factory default = 80>

• Ping Response: Enabled <factory default = Enabled, can be Disabled> • NetBIOS Name: <factory fixed to = HOMEWORKS>

• NetBIOS Name is case insensitive

* If DHCP is set to Disabled, the following are the default values: IP Address: 192.168.250.<processor address = 1 through 16> Subnet: 255.255.255.0
