How to Configure to ETC's Default Configuration

Preparation

A computer (Mac or PC) with Pathscape DMX Software | Pathway Connectivity installed is required for configuring Pathway switches. The computer's network interface must be set to a 10.x.x.x range with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0

Recommended Computer Network Settings for Configuring Pathway Switches

IP Address 10.101.1.101
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
Gateway 10.101.1.1

Add / Log Into / Join Security Domain

If you are starting with all factory defaulted Pathway switches, you will need to create the ETC security domain. If you are reconfiguring a switch previously configured by ETC and have not factory defaulted it, you can join the ETC security domain by using the password "etc". If you are adding a switch previously factory defaulted to a system with existing ETC configured gateways or switches, you can join the device after logging in.

Adding Security Domain

  1. Navigate to the Security Menu and Choose "New Domain..."
