Summary

.

Step-by-step Guide:

  • To perform ColdStart after first power up of the IP controllers:

Note

Users may refer to the sticker manuals on the enclosure box for steps on how to perform ColdStart as it may differ slightly for different controller models.

.

.

  • To perform pre-configuration settings on the network connection:

Note

Users may refer to How to Pre-configure Network Connection for IP Controllers to complete the process. 

.

.

  • To configure the IP address via Web Diagnostics:

Step 1: Open IE browser (Internet Explorer) and type the default IP address in the address box.

Default IP Address for IP Controllers

  • XP-M1000i / XP-M1300i / XP- M1300i/IP – 192.168.1.10
  • XP-M1000i-SE21 / XP-Q1200i-SE / XP-M4L-SE - 192.168.1.21
  • XP-M2000i / XP-M2300i / XP-M2300i/IP – 192.168.1.10
  • XP-SNET / XP-SNETv4 / XP-SNET/IPC – 192.168.1.210
  • XP-GT3500 / GTR1500 – 192.168.1.20
  • XP-GLS100v4 / XP-GLS130v4/ XP-GLS230v4– 192.168.1.10
  • XP-GLS 300 – 192.168.1.210
  • XP-GLS5000 – 192.168.1.210
  • XP- Q1200i / XP-Q1200/IP - 192.168.1.10
  • XP- QNET / XP-QNET/IPC - 192.168.1.210
  • XP-SNET-GAC / XP-GLS-GAC - 192.168.1.220

Note

  • 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.
