Product Usage Instructions

• EAS Overview :
  The Digital Alert Systems’ R190A Hub Controller provides the ability to switch equipment at a remote site or CATV Hub during EAS Alerts. It uses a LAN or WAN connection from a control device such as the DASDEC EAS Encoder/Decoder. The unit has 4 relays that are individually addressable. When used with the DASDEC they can be triggered based on FIPS codes

EAS Getting Started:

• Setting the IP address:
  The R190A has a default IP address of 192.168.1.2. Access the device as follows:

  • Direct connection to a networked host computer
  • LAN connection with a networked host computer: Connect a standard CAT-5E network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of the R190A into a routing hub or other network-switching device. Consult with your network administrator to ensure the R190A’s default network address of 192.168.1.2 will be visible on the network or will not clash with an existing node. Once the R190A is powered up it can be accessed via a web browser from any remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address 192.168.1.2.

FAQ:

• What are the default passwords for different revisions of the R190A?
  • For Rev H units and earlier: The password is ‘monroe’.

• Encoder/Decoder. The unit has 4 relays that are individually addressable. When used with the DASDEC they can be triggered based on FIPS codes.

EAS Getting Started

• Setting the IP address
  The R190A has a default IP address of 192.168.1.2. Access the device as follows:

Direct connection to a networked host computer

• Connect a CAT-5E network crossover cable to the RJ45 port at the back of the R190A and to the RJ45 port of the network interface card (NIC) of a standalone  PC or notebook computer. Configure the

• PC to use the static IP address 192.168.1.3 with a net mask of 255.255.255.0. Once the R190A is powered up it can be accessed via a Web browser on the host computer.

• Launch a Web browser application and direct the URL to http:/192.168.1.2/. The R190A will provide a gateway page and quickly redirect to the R190A Home page. To edit the R190A’s IP address type the following IP address

• http:/192.168.1.2/setup.html.

• LAN connection with a networked host computer

  • Connect a standard CAT-5E network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of the R190A into a routing hub or other network-switching device. Consult with your network administrator to ensure the
  • R190A’s default network address of 192.168.1.2 will be visible on the network or will not clash with an existing node. Once the R190A is powered up it can be accessed via a web browser from any remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address 192.168.1.2.
  • Setup Configuration – The Setup mode of the R190A permits several custom settings, these include the unit’s IP address, Netmask, Gateway, network speed, mode and passwords. No username is required to log into Setup, and the default password is shown in bold between the quotes “digital”. The following screenshots show the setup pages.
  • Please note : Rev H units and earlier the password is ‘monroe’. Beginning with Rev I units and later the password is ‘digital’.

• Changing the Network settings – Enter the new network settings as desired. Click on “Submit” to save. These new changes will show up in the Network tab but will not take effect until power is removed and reapplied to the unit.

• Permanent storage of IP change – To store the new Network settings into memory, remove the power from the unit, wait approximately 10 seconds, and reconnect the power to the unit.

• Note : To set the unit back to the default factory settings, remove the power from the unit, press and hold the Reset button on the back of the unit, and reconnect the power to the unit. After approximately 10 seconds release the Reset button and the unit will be set back to the default IP address of 192.168.1.2.

• Password Settings – The R190A allows programming of a Setup password and a Control password. Setup default password is “digital”, with the Control password disabled. Passwords can be up to 10 characters in length. To save changes to either the Setup or the Control password, click on the “Submit” button.

• If the password(s) are forgotten, the R190A can be reset to factory defaults by removing the power from the unit, pressing, and holding the Reset button on the back of the unit, and reconnecting the power to the unit. After approximately 10 seconds release the Reset button and the unit will be set back to the default password of “digital” for the Setup and no password for the Control.

• Caution : Pressing the reset switch will reset ALL user settings back to default. This includes network IP address and associated settings.

• Please note : Rev H units and earlier the password is ‘monroe’.

• Beginning with Rev I units and later the password is ‘digital’.

Operation

• Test the unit in the same manner it was accessed and programmed.
• Enter the unit’s IP address into your browser and the following display will be shown.
• Triggering any of the four relays can be done in either a latching mode or Pulse. Clicking on the button, On, Off, or Pulse, on the desired relay will allow you to test that the device being controlled by the

Configure your DASDEC EAS Encoder/Decoder

• Digital Alert Systems’ DASDEC EAS Encoder/Decoder can be used in conjunction with the R190A for remote hub switching if local access channels are to be overridden during EAS alerts. The R190A
• LAN controlled device has four independently controlled relays. Each relay can be programmed to activate by a choice of three triggers. In addition to the three triggers it can be set up to filter its  activation by FIPS code(s) and EAS code(s). The DASDEC can control up to 8 of these hub controllers.
• Setup > Net Alerts > Net GPIO
• Note : Before enabling the Hub Controller, THE R190A MUST BE SET TO AN IP ADDRESS THAT IS WITHIN YOUR INTERNAL LAN
• Enable Interfaces by checking the box as shown above, then enable the individual client interface by checking the box also shown above. Enter the new IP address for the R190A as shown in the following screen. The DASDEC will attempt to ping the R190A and display the status. Verify that the status is OK. Accept changes. You can also program the password if desired.
• Select the required condition to close each relay. Once selected the Activating FIPS and Activating EAS Codes boxes will be displayed. The default setting is “Any FIPS” and “Any EAS Codes” which triggers the relay when an alert is detected.
• Setup > Alert Agent > Net GPIO – FIPS Groups and EAS Code Groups
• Relay activation can be programmed to close when Alerts for specific FIPS areas or EAS codes are present.

Remote Control Overview

• In its basic configuration, the R190A is a simple remote control that allows the user to command 4 DPST relays at a remote location. These commands can be issued from any computer with a web browser through a network connection to the R190A.
• Equipment within the power limits of the relay contacts can be directly connected to the R190A and be easily controlled from any network location.
• Additionally, the R190A can be directly connected to any of the contact closure-controlled switches manufactured by Digital Alert Systems so that audio/video, IF or RF type switching can be accomplished.
• Set-up and configuration are done by using the built-in web page where IP address, password and relay labels are entered.
• Once configured for the user’s network, on, off or momentary relay control can be accomplished by clicking a button on the web page.

Remote Control Getting Started
