Access and Setup
Default IP Address
The Epic 5’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1. This can be modified,
however, we recommend you retain the default IP address if possible
for hassle-free installation of other Luxul products.
n
NOTE:
In the event another device on your network shares the
192.168.0.1 address, you’ll need to reassign the device’s IP
address or remove it from the network.
Connecting a Client Device
Connect a client device to one of the router LAN ports or to a switch
that is connected to a router LAN port. The DHCP server on the router is
configured by default. If your client device is set to obtain an IP address
automatically, no further configuration is required and you’re ready to log in.

Hardware Operation
The front panel of the router features Power, System and USB LEDs; and port
status indicators for each of the router’s Ethernet ports.
The rear panel of the router features seven RJ-45 Ethernet ports: Two dedicated
WAN ports and five dedicated LAN ports. Using the two dedicated WAN
ports, the router can be connected to two independent Internet connections
simultaneously.
The rear panel also features a power switch and socket, recessed Reset button,
and a switch for selecting front-panel LED colors (blue/green/off) to match
other equipment in an audio/video rack.
Plug a USB flash drive or hard drive into the USB 3.0 port and configure the
built-in file/DLNA server to serve files to LAN-connected client devices.
The Console port supports advanced command-line functionality, but requires
a special cable. Contact support if your application requires a command line.
n
Note:
The Console port is not an Ethernet port. A special cable is
required for use. Contact support for more information.
