Troubleshooting
Restoring the factory default connection settings
You can use this procedure to restore the device to the factory
default configuration if you don’t have access to credentials to
access the device. You will need a USB cable and USB driver files
installed on your computer to complete this procedure (see below).

The following procedure will delete all configuration, user accounts
and log files from the device.
1. Open the side configuration panel on the module, and set DIP
switch #6 to “on.”
2. Power cycle the module.
When the 215U-2 is powered on with DIP switch #6 set to “on,”
the module goes into a special mode that allows you to restore the
device to factory configuration.
Once the device has powered up, connect to the USB port. The
USB port is located on the bottom side of the module. (Refer
Figure 11 “Bottom Panel Connections”). To connect, you need an
USB cable (USB-A to USB-B) for connecting from your computer
to the module’s USB-B port . If this is the first time you have used
your computer to connect to an ELPRO device through the USB
port, then you will need to download the USB driver file from the
product’s internet website. This is available from the same location
that you downloaded this user manual. The filename is “ElproUSB.
inf”.
Open your web browser, and enter the IP address 192.168.111.1. You
should see the following page:
Enter the device serial number (as an additional precaution against
accidentally deleting the device), Set DIP switch 6 to “off”, and click
“Recover Device”. Click “OK” to start device recovery. Once you
have clicked OK, disconnect the USB Cable. Once the device has
restarted, you can plug the USB cable back in to access the device
using the default credentials.
Importante:
Remember to set DIP switch #6 to “off” and power
cycle the module to return to normal operation after you have
completed configuration. Otherwise, the module will continue to
boot into the default IP address
