CPU IP is fully reconfigurable via flash upgrade.

 to determine the current firmware version of the CPU 

IP unit.

2  Please contact LINDY Support to get the latest firmware revision.
3  Power down the CPU IP unit. At the rear of the unit, adjacent to the power 

input socket, click mini switch 1 to its ON (down) position.

4  Re-apply power to the CPU IP. On the locally connected monitor you should 

see a Maintenance menu:

   The Maintenance menu should display the current network address 

of the CPU IP. 

•  If the current network address is incorrect then select 

the ‘Configure network’ option to change it:

5  Use the web browser (not the VNC viewer) on the previously used remote 

system, connect to the network address shown in the local Maintenance 
menu. 

6  Follow the on screen instructions to upload the firmware file (previously 

obtained from LINDY) to the CPU IP. 

7  When the upload is complete and confirmed on screen, log off the remote 

system and then power down the CPU IP.

8  At the rear of the unit, return the mini switch 1 to its OFF position and then 

re-apply power.        

 

Media Access Control address – this 
is the unique and unchangeable code 
that was hard coded within your CPU IP 
unit when it was built. It consists of six 
2-digit hexadecimal (base 16) numbers 
separated by colons. A section of the 
MAC address identifies the manufacturer, 
while the remainder is effectively the 
unique electronic serial number of your 
particular unit.  

When this option is selected, your CPU IP 
will attempt to locate a DHCP server on 
the network. If such a server is located, it 
will 

 to the CPU IP: 

an IP address, an IP network mask (also 
known as a Subnet mask) and a Gateway 
address.

This is the identity of the CPU IP within 
a network. It can either be entered 
manually or configured automatically 
using the DHCP option. When the DHCP 
option is enabled, this entry is greyed 
out.

Also often called the ‘subnet-mask’, this 
value is used alongside the IP address 
to help define a smaller collection (or 
subnet) of devices on a network. In 
this way a distinction is made between 
locally connected devices and ones that 
are reachable elsewhere, such as on the 
wider Internet.

This is the address of the device that links 
the local network (to which the CPU IP 
is connected) to another network such 
as the Internet. Usually this is a network 
switch or router and it will be used 
whenever a device to be contacted lies 
outside the local network.
