Contact the VertX controller through the following methods.
• Discovery GUI (DHCP or Static TCP/IP Configurations Only)
• Virtual Port
4.1 HID Discovery Application (for DHCP Networks)
The HID Discovery Application provides a technician with a method of locating all of the
VertX controllers that are connected to a network. Controller information is displayed
providing the ability to ‘blink’ the VertX controller Comm LED and configure the unit by
launching a browser pointed at the Configuration GUI of the targeted controller. When the
HID Discovery Application is launched, a discover command is issued and the Configuration
GUI screen is populated with the results. Also provided is the ability to refresh the
Configuration GUI screen on command.
Use this feature when the VertX controllers and network have been installed and are
operational, but before the VertX controller(s) are configured. At this point, all of the
controllers on a network will have the same host name and unknown IP addresses (assuming
a DHCP environment). In this scenario, the only mechanism available to configure a
controller is the serial debug port or by only placing one controller on the network at a time.
The HID Discovery Application provides an easy to use mechanism to configure controllers.
Note: The Controller must be connected to the network before power is applied for DHCP to
function.
With the PC connected to the same network as the Controller, double-click 1.
hid-discovery.exe.
Note: If the HID Discovery Application is not on the PC download the application 2.
from www.hidglobal.com/drivers. Search for “Discovery” and the DISCOVERY GUI
download window will appear.
Select the device from the list. 3.
