How to Change a TLX Matrix Switch’s IP Address 3 Rev. A - July, 2015
TLX640 and TLX48 Controller Card Locations
The Default Addresses
The Primary Controller uses default address 192.168.13.15 and alternate address 192.168.13.115.
The Secondary Controller uses default address 192.168.13.16.
The user’s External Control Server
address is 192.168.13.9. This auto configuration allows a controller to work in either slot. If this auto
configuration is changed, each controller will only work in its respective slot.
To manually configure a router with one controller, one IP address is required.
To manually configure a router with redundant controllers, four IP addresses are required; two
for the primary controller, one for the secondary controller, and one for the external control
server.
During a failed condition, when the secondary controller has taken control of the system from the primary
controller, the secondary controll
er will use the primary controller’s IP address so that all external control
servers will be unaffected by the failure. During this condition, the failed primary controller can still be
reached using its alternate IP address.
Configuring the Network
The ea
siest way to manually configure the network on your Router is to run the “ipconfig” utility. You will
need to login as root user and give the command: # ipconfig (The # represents the command prompt for
the root user. You do not need to type it.) The ipconfig utility will ask you if you would like to set up
networking. Use the space bar to select the "Yes" button. Use the tab key to move between items and
the space bar to select.
