The Aquilon RS2 uses standard ethernet LAN
networking. To access the Web RCS, connect a
computer to the Aquilon RS2 using the Ethernet
cable. Then on the computer, open an internet
browser (Google Chrome is recommended).
Into this internet browser, enter the IP address
of the Aquilon RS2 displayed on the front panel
screen (192.168.2.140 by default).
The connecon starts.
Oen, computers are set to DHCP client (automac
IP detecon) mode. You may need to change the
IP address conguraon on your computer before
you can connect. These sengs are found in the
properes for your LAN network adaptor, and vary
by operang system.
The default IP address on the Aquilon RS2 is
192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Therefore, you can assign your computer a stac
IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of
255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect.
If the connecon is not starng:
Be sure the computer IP address is on the same
network and subnet as the Aquilon RS2.
Be sure that two devices do not have the same IP
address (prevent IP conicts)
Check your network cable. You will need a
crossover ethernet cable if you are connecng
directly from the Aquilon RS2 to the computer. If
a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet
cables.

Manual or contact Analog Way Technical Support.
