DIP Switch Controls
DIP switch combinations set the unit for different items that may be needed for diagnostics or to access
the unit via VCT. Below are the DIP settings for each mode ( "D" indicates switch in the down position,
"U" is up ).
1 2 3 4 Mode
DDDD
Broadcast Mode (default)
UDDD Unicast
Mode
UDUD
Sends a standard response to a "X" command from the VCT, every second.
UUUD
Resets Vertex to Static IP address of 192.168.1.90 upon reboot.
UUDD
Sends IP address via Serial Port at 9600 Baud every second.
DUUU
Sends DHCP, DNS, and NTP packets via Network Packet Capture.
UUUU
Sets Vertex to default parameters upon reboot.
DDDD
This default mode responds to commands and sends call records via UDP broadcast
(255.255.255.255). All parameters will remain as set by the VCT.
UDDD
Used when the VCT cannot communicate with the Vertex via UDP broadcast, as with a
VPN connection. Unicast connection mode sends back commands to the requesting IP
address. It also sends call records via unicast, once it receives a command from the VCT.
A reboot allows call records to be sent via Broadcast until VCT connects again.
UDUD
When launched, the VCT sends a broadcast "X" command. If seen, the Vertex responds
back with all its parameters. This option instructs the hardware to simply send its
parameters every second, regardless of the VCT command.
UUUD
The Vertex default address is 192.158.1.90, but is set for DHCP. If VCT cannot detect the
hardware, use this mode and reboot to set a static Vertex IP address of 192.168.1.90. If
Pinging this address is unsuccessful, the PC may be on different subnet . If successful, try
using the "Unicast Mode" along with the
Location Manager
.
UUDD
Sends the Vertex IP and whether it is set to Static or DHCP. Useful if VCT cannot detect
hardware and a serial port is available. If Pinging this address is unsuccessful, the PC may
be on different subnet. If successful, try using the "Unicast Mode" along with the
Location
Manager
to configure the Vertex.
DUUU
Diagnostic mode to troubleshoot DHCP, DNS, and NTP protocols. Used in conjunction with
the Network Packet Capture on the
Advanced Tab.
A particular Vertex network connection
is required that allows the VoIP Bridge Ports to monitor all packets sent and received from
the Management Port upon boot up. Refer to
DHCP, DNS, and NTP issues
below
.
UUUU
Sets the Vertex to the default parameters. If connecting with VCT is possible, we
recommend setting the default parameters using
Tools / Reset Hardware to Defaults.
Remember to set these DIP switches down immediately after boot up.
