IP-L
To configure the communication module or network card for IP-L, set all three rotary switches to zero. The module should then be connected to
the controller. In the case of an Intuitive Mercury controller where the network card is already fitted, the controller should be powered off, all
three rotary switches set to zero and the controller powered on.

connected to the controller and the network. In the case of an Intuitive Mercury TDB controller where the network card is already fitted, the three
rotary switches must be set when the controller is powered off, the controller should then be powered on and connected to the network.

Mercury Switch
When the controller is connected to a mercury switch it will give the same menus as outlined in the section above. The network ID assigned to
the switch via the rotary switches will dictate the menu (IP-L / IP-r). Please refer to the Mercury Switch user guide, which can be obtained from
the RDM website, for information regarding connecting a controller to a network.
WiFi Network card
When a WiFi network card is fitted, it allows the controller to log on to an IP network wirelessly either by statically assigning an IP address or
allowing a dhcp server to automatically hand one out. It is designed to connect to a WiFi access point using WPA or WPA2 security using a pre
shared key. By default, the board is configured to connect to a WiFi network with SSID ‘
RDMInstall
’ and passphrase ‘
RDMInstall
’.
To configure the controller for operation with another WiFi network requires the key to be programmed into the mercury intuitive. This is done
through the ‘Set New Key’ option, in ‘WiFi setup’ from the configure menu on the controller’s web page.
