Ethernet Module Overview

The 10-2627 Ethernet Module provides a means to connect the CyberCat or Cheetah Xi control panels to the
local network or the Internet. This allows remote panels to transmit system events to a monitoring panel that can
be located on the protected premises or at a remote location. Each module has an integrated Xport Ethernet
component that must be programmed with a static IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway as outlined in
this guide for proper communication to occur. You will need to work with the Information Technology (IT)
personnel responsible for the protected premises to obtain these values for each Ethernet module installed.
The associated control panel(s) must also be configured for Ethernet operation before proper communication will
occur. Refer to Fike document 06-388, “Ethernet Module Product Manual” for panel programming instructions.

L Note: The guide was prepared using current information supplied by Lantronix® and Microsoft® for the
referenced software and components. Since these items are not under the direct control of Fike, the
following information is subject to change without notice.

Change Computer IP Address and Subnet Mask

The computer running the DeviceInstaller software must be set to the same IP address, Subnet mask and Default
Gateway as the default configuration for the Ethernet Module. The following procedure shows how to set these
values in a Windows XP operating platform.
1 – Open Control Panel

2 – Open Network Connections

3 – Right-Click on Local Area Connection, and select Properties

4 – Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties

5 – Select the Alternate Configuration tab

6 – Select the User configured radio button
