Common Settings Required During Initial Setup and After
a Factory Reset
Some common tasks that are required by the Lynx administrator during the initial
setup and after a Factory Reset operation are listed below:
• Setting Lynx’s date & time-of-day. The Lynx contains a battery-backed
clock; once set, the internal clock will retain the time for long period even if
no power is allied to the Lynx. Procedure on setting the time can be found in
the Setting the Lynx’s System Time on page 14. The Lynx’s time is not
affected by a Factory Reset procedure.
• Setting the Lynx’s Security. Security consists of Login requirement and
password. Procedure on setting security can be found in Change your
Administrator Password and Login Option on page 13. Factory Reset
procedure disables the Login. Likewise, Login is disabled on a new Lynx
received from the factory.
• Setting the Lynx to new IP Address. IP address can be set to be
dynamically assigned by your network (with DHCP enabled) or statically
assigned (DHCP disabled) by your network administrator. Procedure on
selecting network parameters can be found in Change Network Ethernet IP
Address on page 13. When selecting manual assignments for the IP address,
care must be taken not to assign multiple devices at the same address.
Factory Reset procedure resets the communication parameters to the default
settings listed in Lynx Access – Default Settings on page 65.
• Setting the Lynx’s UPnP name to non-default string, or disabling UPnP
advertising from the Lynx. The factory default name string is Lynx.
Procedure on selecting different name, or disabling UPnP advertising can be
found in Accessing your Lynx through the UPnP Name on page 14. Factory
Reset procedure enables UPnP advertising in the Lynx, and resets the UPnP
name to Lynx. UPnP is enabled on a new Lynx received from the factory.
