Index...........................................................................................................................................................................23 iii IP Configuration of the AMC Using AmcIPConfig IP Configuration of the AMC Starting the AmcIpConfig application The application AmcIpConfig.exe finds and, if desired, configures AMC modules in the network. The names and/or IP Addresses of the AMCs are necessary to parametrize these devices in the access control system. AMCs can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized access. AmcIpConfig.exe is launched differently, depending on the access control system: Access Personal Edition Start > Programs > Access Personal Edition > AMC IP-Configuration Access Engine In the BIS Configuration Browser the application can be found in the Tools menu under ACE Configuration AMC IP Adresses The AmcIpConfig.exe executable can be copied to and started from any PC in the system in order to configure AMCs locally. A prerequisite is that .NET 1.1 be installed on the PC. After a standard installation the application will be found at the following locations: Access Personal Edition: C:\Programs\BOSCH\Access Personal Edition\PE\bin Access Engine: C:\MgtS\Access Engine\AC\bin 1 AMC-IP-Config_EN Menu and tool bar The application makes its functions available via toolbar buttons and menus.

It is recommended that this option remain enabled. The Device scan timeout option allows the user to select a scan timeout between 0.5 and 120 seconds (default = 5). Increasing this value enables the application to detect devices that respond slowly to requests, due to a busy network. 3 AMC-IP-Config_EN Scanning IP Configuration of the AMC Hide all drop-down text | Print all text Show all drop-down text | Print all text Scanning the Local Area Network for AMC Devices To scan your local area network for available AMC devices, click the Scan symbol in the toolbar or select Menu:Devices > Scan.
