Forcing the DHCP/IP Address Settings to Known Values:
An M1XEP with bootware version 1.1.0 or later supports an easy method for forcing the M1XEP from a static IP
address to DHCP mode or vice versa. This is accomplished with the use of Jumper JP2 located beside the metal
housing of the RJ45 connector.
1.
Power down the M1XEP. Place a shorting jumper across the two pins of JP2. Power the M1XEP back up.
2.
After a few seconds, the green LED on the RJ45 connector will blink five times. About 30 seconds later, the
green LED will blink and repeat in a “coded” fashion, indicating either DHCP or STATIC modes. If set for DHCP
mode there will be 1 quick blink. If set for STATIC mode there will be 2 quick blinks. When the M1XEP is
forced to STATIC mode its address will become 192.168.0.251.
3.
If the blink indicates the wrong mode, power the unit down and back up to force it to the opposite setting.
4.
When the green LED indicates that the M1XEP is at the desired setting, remove the shorting jumper from JP2
and allow the M1XEP to continue booting up. This may take another minute.
