Direct Connection
If the control computer’s Ethernet interface does not support Auto-
MDIX, use a crossover cable to connect the control computer directly to
the Controller module between their respective Net/LAN connectors
(Figure 2-2). The factory default ReFlex Power™ Controller settings will
select an AutoIP address, it will be in the 169.254.1-254.NNN range, if
DHCP is not available, check the Control computer for proper settings.

5. Press the POWER switch on the Controller’s front panel to power on
the system. Allow time for the system to boot.
6. Launch the Ethernet connection (Section 2.4.3), or go straight to the
Net Test window to begin control communication (Section 2.6).
2.4.3 L AUNCHING E THERNET C OMMUNICATION
Once the Ethernet connection is made and the system is powered on, the
Controller module’s LEDs, LAN and Con, are lit, and Net is lit during
network traffic.
When there is no Network traffic, the Net LED is not lit.
If the Con LED is not lit, the RFPC is not connected to a functioning
network.
If the LAN LED is not lit, the RFPC does not have an active TCP/IP
address, it has detected that it cannot retrieve an IP address via DHCP, or
if configured for a fixed IP address, the requested IP address is already in
use, or the RFPC can’t initialize the Ethernet system for some reason.
Execute the LXI™_Browser_setup file located in the ReFlex Power
executables folder on the ReFlex Power™ CD-ROM, M380399-01. This
will bring up the LXI™ Discovery Browser interface (Figure 2-3), which will
find and display the IP address of the ReFlex Power™ Controller module.
