Info
titleNote
  • Once the settings are saved, the Web Diagnostics is only accessible via the newly changed controller IP address.
  • The controller and Server PC's IP addresses are required to be configured with static IP addresses.
  • The communication port between Server and controller is of ÚDP type with default port number: 6268.
  • Ensure Server and controller's IP addresses are unique IP addresses in the network and that both IP addresses are not already occupied by another device / controller.
  • Ensure that the setting for Enhanced Network Encryption (AES 128) is configured to be the same as the controller setting in the xPortalNet software. If the setting on Web Diagnostic does not match with the setting in the software, the controller will also be shown as "Down"


Common Issues:

Often times after re-connecting to the network, the controller status may be shown as "Down" due to the controller and Server PC's IP addresses are automatically assigned as dynamic IP addresses (DHCP) in the network.

With dynamic IP address, a device can have different IP address every time it re-connects to the network or when the network detects that the IP address is already occupied by another device / computer.

So if the user found that the controller status is shown as "Down"; or the status is shown as "Up" and "Down" intermittently, check and ensure that both controller and Server PC's IP addresses are configured as static IP addresses.
