Contact a VertX controller by directly connecting the computer to the controller using an
Ethernet cable. By default, every controller is configured to respond to a fixed address:

Ensure you are running a Windows 2000 or XP computer. 1.
Disconnect your Windows computer from its hub or network. 2.
Connect the Windows computer to the controller with an Ethernet cable. 3.
Select the Windows Start > Run. 4.
Enter ipconfig /renew. Wait for DHCP to timeout (approximately 60 sec). 5.
The computer will acquire a 169.254.x.x address.
Access a web browser and enter 169.254.242.121 into the Address field. The 6.
controller is now accessible through this Virtual Port.
