6.8.3.1CXCI IP Address Reset and Startup

This feature enables the user to reset the IP address of the CXCI. It is a function of the front panel reset button on Cordex controllers that have only a 4-digit display.

The reset button located on the front panel of the CXCI is for restarting the microprocessor. When pressed momentarily, the unit beeps twice then resets. The front-panel LED’s will illuminate temporarily, but will extinguish after the system has finished its 15-second self-test.

To reset the IP address, press and hold the front panel reset button for three seconds. The unit will beep three times, IP will be reset (to 10.10.10.201) and DHCP (see 8.1.1.5) will be disabled. The settings will be saved and the unit will then reset.

There is also a “hard” reset button located on the side of the CXCI. Pressing this button will reset the CXC but will not affect any settings; has the same functionality as the reset button on a CXC with a touch screen LCD.

The CXCI, upon startup5, will set the time based on the following priorities:

1.Attempt to synchronize with the NTP server (see www.NTP.org), otherwise:

2.Retrieve the last time stamp from the Event Log, otherwise:

3.Retrieve the last time stamp from the Statistics Log, otherwise:

4.Set the time to 2005-01-01 midnight (if the above methods fail).
