Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Network Setup Issues
The instructions below can be used for first time setup of DXLink Fiber units on a network with no NetLinx Master
(integrated).
Note:
Before setting up the network, we recommend plugging all required Ethernet cables into the network
before applying power to the DXLink Fiber units.
To set the IP, connection, and device parameters on a DXLink Fiber unit:
1.
Attach the DXLink Fiber unit via its ICS LAN 10/100 port to the network or PC.
2.
Power up the DXLink Fiber unit.
3.
The DXLink Fiber unit will get a DHCP address or default to 169.254.2.2 (or if the unit is in Static IP Mode, the
address will be 192.168.1.2).
4.
Establish a Telnet connection* to the DXLink Fiber unit and set up the network parameters using the following
three commands:
SET IP
SET CONNECTION
SET DEVICE
5.
Enter
REBOOT
.
6.
Reset the DIP switches to configure the DXLink Fiber unit for the specific type of system setup being used (see the
“Common Scenarios” tables on page 46 and page 47).
Note:
If you cannot locate the DXLink Fiber unit in the Online Tree, you can reset the factory default by
holding the ID button during power up until the LEDs blink in unison and then releasing the ID button. This will
revert the DXLink Fiber unit to DHCP mode. Start again at Step 1 on the previous page.
* For additional information on establishing a Telnet connection and Telnet commands, see page 104.
