DHCP and Defaults
The set of 4 switches near the Ethernet port are for basic configuration. Switches 1 and 4 are
reserved and should not be used.
Switch 2 is used to reset the ZW-REC to factory defaults. This is useful if the IP address or
password to the ZW-REC is lost. To set the Receiver to factory default settings perform the
following steps:
•
Remove power from the ZW-REC.
•
Slide DIP switch #2 to ON position.
•
Power the ZW-REC on and wait about 10 seconds until the Receiver fully boots up.
•
Set the DIP switch #2 back to OFF position
Note:
Make sure that the DIP switch is set to OFF before resuming normal
operation. When the switch is on, every time the unit is power-cycled the factory
settings are loaded. The switch may be changed while the unit is running but this
has no effect until the ZW-REC is reset or power cycled.
Switch 3 is used to force DHCP on. Changing Switch 3 to ON enables DHCP the next time the
ZW-REC is powered or reset. Turning on DHCP in the manner overwrites the webpage setting.
This is useful for situations where it is not possible to connect to the default IP address. Please
see
Section 3.3
for more information on requirement to use DHCP.
To disable forced DHCP change Switch 3 to OFF and reset the device. DHCP remains on until it
is changed from the webpage or the device is reset to defaults.
2.3 Reset Button
Pushing the Reset Button while the ZW-REC is powered reboots the device. Holding the Reset
Button for 9 seconds resets the ZW-REC to its factory default settings. To access the Reset
Button carefully use a small screw driver or paperclip to depress the switch through the
pinhole shown in
Figure 4
. Do not apply excessive force as this may damage the device.
