Toggling Between Static and DHCP IP Addressing
EXB modules support both Static IP and DHCP addresses, and have a factory default Static IP Address that
can be recalled at any time by resetting the unit to its default configuration.
By default, EXB Modules are set to use DHCP (with link-local fallback).
Once the Module has booted up, press and hold the ID pushbutton for at least 10 seconds, and release.
The Module will toggle between static and dynamic IP addressing after release.
The Module will automatically reboot to complete the process.
Performing a Factory Reset
1. Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the Ethernet / PoE connector. Begin counting only
when the LEDs begin to flash (as opposed to the moment that the connector is inserted).
Note that once the module has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per second.
After 10 flashes at this rate, the LEDs will flash in unison at a faster rate.
2. At the point that the blink rate increases (approximately 10 seconds after boot-up), release the
pushbutton.
3. The Module will automatically reboot to complete the process.
Resetting the Unit to the Factory Default Firmware Image
1. Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the Ethernet / PoE connector. Begin counting only
when the LEDs begin to flash (as opposed to the moment that the connector is inserted).
Note that once the module has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per second.
After 10 flashes at this rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate.
After 10 seconds of flashing at the increased rate, all LEDs go to solid on.
2. At the point that the LEDs go to solid on (approximately 20 seconds after boot-up), release the
pushbutton.
3. The Module will restore itself to a factory firmware image by performing the following actions:
a. Copy the boot code from the factory image to the boot block in flash memory.
b. Mark the boot parameter block in flash memory to indicate that the unit should boot from slot#0 (the
factory application code slot).
c. Delete the application and boot code in flash memory slots #1 and #2.
d. Delete the IRL files stored on the Module.
While the button is held at boot (for at least 11 seconds), all LEDs on the Module continue to fast-blink.
4. Once all writes to flash memory are completed, the LEDs will all be extinguished, indicating that the unit
is ready to reboot.
5. The Module will automatically reboot to complete the process.
EXB Modules can also be set to Static IP or DHCP Mode via the SET IP TelNet
command (page 58). See the Terminal (Telnet) Commands section on page 53 for
details.
A press-and-hold of the ID Pushbutton at boot will prevent the Module from
attempting to come online until the pushbutton is released. The Module will only
attempt to come online if the hold time is less than 10 seconds.
When switching from Dynamic to Static IP using this method, the static IP address is
set to the factory default IP Address, regardless of other static IP addresses that may
have been set previously.
