Device IDs
* The Device ID for unbound units defaults to 0x014B until the unit is bound and the system is refreshed in NetLinx
Studio.
Using the ID Pushbutton
The ID Pushbutton is located on the right front of the DXLink Fiber TX/RX units.
The ID Pushbutton can be used to perform four types of initial configuration settings:
Toggle between DHCP and static IP addressing (below)
Assign a device address (page 58)
Reset the unit to its factory default settings, which affects the parameters but not the firmware version
(page 59)
Restore the unit to its factory firmware image, which affects both the firmware version and the parameters
(page 59)
The functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held. ID Pushbutton
functions can also be implemented using Telnet commands (see page 93).
Tip:
To monitor the ID Pushbutton boot state of a unit by its NetLinx LED behavior, see page 60.
Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP
DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex support both DHCP and static IP addresses. When the #3 Toggle is
ON (see page 39), the units automatically use DHCP with link-local fallback. However, you can use a static IP address
which has been set via a Telnet command (
SET IP
), or you can use the factory default static IP address. The default
static IP address can be recalled at any time by resetting the unit to its factory default configuration (see page 59).
The default dynamic (DHCP) address is 169.254.2.2.
The ID Pushbutton can be used to toggle between the DHCP and Static IP Modes.
