ID Pushbutton
All DVX models feature an ID pushbutton which you can use to toggle between static and dynamic IP
addressing. You can also use the pushbutton to reset the default settings on the controller or restore the
controller to its factory firmware image.
1.
Switching to Static or Dynamic IP Addressing
To toggle between static or dynamic IP addressing, the controller cannot be currently booting or it must be
in ID Mode. If these conditions are met, holding the ID pushbutton for 10 seconds changes the current IP
addressing mode.
2.
Restoring the Controller Settings to the Factory Defaults
To restore the controller settings to the factory defaults, the controller must be currently booting and you
must press the ID pushbutton for 10 seconds. The controller is booting when the System and Input LEDs are
both ON and the Output LED is OFF. This includes resetting the static IP address to its default and deleting
the NetLinx program.
CAUTION:
Pressing the ID pushbutton for 20 seconds restores the factory firmware image on the controller.
Do not press the pushbutton significantly longer than the necessary 10 seconds if you only want to restore
the default settings on the controller.
3.
Restoring the Controller’s Factory Firmware Image
To restore the controller’s factory firmware image, the controller must currently be booting and you must
press the ID pushbutton for 20 seconds. This also deletes all code and IRL files.
LAN 100/1000
All DVX models feature a LAN 100/1000 port to provide 100/1000 Mbps communication via Category cable.
This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cables. The port support IPv4 and IPv6 networks, as well as HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and FTP.
The LAN port automatically negotiates the connection speed (100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps), and whether to use
half duplex or full duplex mode.
