Makes the LP1501 report and function like an EP1501. To be used
in situations where the host software has not been updated to
support the LP series product line.
All other switch settings are unassigned and reserved for future use.
Factory Default Communication Parameters:
Interface 1 (NIC1)
Network: static IP address: 192.168.0.251
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Primary Host port: IP server, Data Security: TLS if Available, port 3001, communication address: 0
Alternate Host Port: Disabled
4. Bulk Erase Configuration Memory:
The bulk erase function can be used for the following purposes:
Erase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board)
Update OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed
Recover from database corruption causing LP1501 board to continuously reboot
If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.
Bulk Erase Steps:
Do not remove power during steps 1-8.
1. Set S1 DIP switches to: 1 & 2 "ON", 3 & 4 "OFF".
2. Apply power to the LP1501 board. LED 1 on for about 15 seconds while LP1501 boots up.
3. After the LP1501 boots up, watch for LEDs 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 to alternately flash at a 0.5 second rate.
4. Within 10 seconds after the above pattern starts, change switches 1 or 2 to "OFF". If these switches
are not changed, the LP1501 board will power up using the OEM default communication parameters.
5. LED 2 will flash indicating that the configuration memory is being erased.
6. Full memory erase takes up to 60 seconds, usually a lot less.
7. When complete, only LEDs 1 & 4 will flash for about 3 seconds.
8. The LP1501 board will complete its initialization in 2 seconds after LEDs 1 & 4 stop flashing.
5. Input Power:
The LP1501 is powered by one of two ways (jumper selected, J3):
Power is supplied via the Ethernet connection using PoE or PoE+
Or local 12 Vdc power supply, TB4-3 (VIN), TB4-4 (GND)
