DPX-7212
User Manual - Initial Setup and Installation
Each Duprex DPX-7212 pair is configured with a default TCP/IP address.
Duprex Central = 192.168.1.58
Duprex Remote = 192.168.1.59
It may be necessary to change these settings to be compatible with the network that will be
used in the final installation. The DPX-7212 system requires the use of fixed IP addresses to be
assigned to the units. It may be necessary to coordinate with the System Administrator before
placing the devices on a network.
The Lantronix WiPort Device Installer program can be used. Each order for the DPX-7212 will
include a CD containing the program. If for some reason the program has not made it to you, it can
be downloaded from www.lantronix.com under support/downloads/WiPort Device Installer.
This manual will describe how to change the IP address for the units using the WiPort
Device Installer software. Once the Addresses have been set to be compatible with the network,
final installation can be made. It will be necessary to have a wireless 802.11 router to change the
TCP/IP settings.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe switch/router and other complex network settings
and topologies. It will be incumbent upon the end user or system administrator to determine how to
configure their network equipment to allow operation of the DPX-7212 units.
During the configuration process some settings may be changed inadvertently that will cause the
units to cease operation. A strap is provided on the WiPort Module to reset to Standard Duprex
Defaults or Factory Defaults.
Duprex Defaults
set the unit to the “shipped from factory” setting. This allows the Central and Remote to communicate directly
with each other without a router by setting static IP addresses.
WiPort Defaults
set the unit to DHCP mode in order to initiate configuration using the Installer Driver Software.
Service Mode 1
(Central Unit) does not change the WLAN settings but forces continuous polling for installation and
troubleshooting.
Service Mode 2
is reserved for future use.
Normal Operation Mode
is the recommended operational configuration. Network traffic is reduced to event driven communication
and periodic supervision.
The different modes of operation are described below:
