If you want to connect
the PixLite directly to a PC then in addition to setting the computer’s IP range
as specified above, you may also need to use a crossover network cable as opposed to a straight-
through cable as described in section 4.1.1.
4.2.3 - Forcing the Default IP Address
In the event that you forget the IP of a controller and you can’t see it in the Assistant, it can be
forced to its default IP. A simple procedure can be employed on power up:
1.
Hold down the “Factory IP” button
and power up the board
2.
After a few seconds r
elease the button. The controller’s IP address will now be 192.168.0.50.
You should now be able to setup your PC’s network settings to find the controller at this IP and
change the IP settings to what you prefer. After changing the settings or if you power the controller
off and on again, the controller will revert to using the saved settings.
