FX20 Factory IP

[Cal1]

FYI
Just had a FX20 fresh out of the box the factory IP was not 192.168.1.49. It was 192.168.1.126. I didn't have the RJ45 to DB9 connector or the Silver Satin patch cable for the system shell dump. Thank you codewriter for the link to Colasofts web site the Mac scanner worked and I was able to download the station. Just thought i would pass this along.

Keep your scanner handy. You'll probably find each one different, I have on the FX60s.

Not sure what JCI does about factory setting the Jace IP address, or if you made a typo in your post 192.168.1.149 versus 192.168.1.49.

Tridium sets all Jace4/5 (FX40 is a Jace403) to 192.168.1.14x, where x is the last digit of the serial number. They set all Jace2/6 (FX20 is a Jace2 and FX60 is a Jace6) to 192.168.1.12x, where x is the last digit of the serial number.

Also the Jace4/5 have an RJ45 jack as the com port connection, so that requires the RJ45 to DB9 converter. You don't really need to use a flat satin cable, that is just what is recommended. A standard ethernet cable works just fine generally.

The Jace2/6 have actual DB9 connectors for the com port, so you just need a standard null modem cable.

Thank You Checkvalve and Ninax. Yes it was a typo on the IP address. I also did try to shell into the FX20 set the jumper as indicated under the cover on the left side using the two pins vertically and setup my Hyperterminal port settings as follows 57600- 8- none- 1- hardware control and was using a null modem cable and all I got was two or three characters like BB1 or Ab. Just for future reference was this the correct procedure for the FX20?

To connect to the JACE serial system shell

To connect to the JACE's system shell using a serial connection, do the following:

Connect the necessary serial cable and adapter between the JACE's RS-232 port and the RS-232 COM port you are using on your PC. See "Items needed for serial system shell".

On your PC, start HyperTerminal. From the Windows Start menu, this is typically Programs->Accessories->Communications->HyperTerminal.

In the "Connection Description" dialog, type a name for this session.

For example: Jace serial shell

Click OK.

In the "Connect to" dialog, use the "Connect using" drop-down list to select the COM port you are using on your PC, for example COM1.

Click OK.

In the Comn Properties dialog, choose the following settings:

Bits per second: 57600 (note: if a JACE-2, select 115200)

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: Hardware

Click OK. The HyperTerminal session is now set up.

On the JACE circuit board, locate the 4-pin Mode connector and put a 2-pin jumper on the topmost pins. See "Mode connector" for more details.

With your HyperTerminal session active, unplug the JACE's 6-position power connector from the circuit board, then plug it back in.

After some number of seconds, text should appear in the HyperTerminal window similar to:

Press any key to stop auto-boot...

Do not press any key, wait for the login prompt.

If you did press a key to stop auto-boot, select option 1 (Boot from on-board nand flash).

At the login prompt, enter the platform user name, and at the password prompt, the platform password. See "Platform daemon credentials" for factory-default values.

The system shell menu appears. See "About JACE system shell menu".

When finished making platform changes from the serial system shell, do the following:

Remove the 2-pin jumper from the JACE's 4-pin Mode connector, or place back in "normal" position.

From the system shell menu, select the Reboot option.

Type "y" at the "Are you sure you want to reboot [y/n]" prompt, and press Enter.

Shutdown-related text appears in the HyperTerminal window, and then the connection is dropped.

Press the Disconnect button on the HyperTerminal tool bar.

Exit from the HyperTerminal application, selecting to Save if you wish to reuse this setup again.

Jace 4/5 serial shell uses 57600
Jace 2/6 serial shell uses 115200

I just had a brand new, out of box FX20 that shipped with an IP of 192.168.1.149. It was still sealed when I recieved it. This is not the first time I've had this happen, is there a chance that Johnson Jace's are not following the Tridium protocol for some reason? For the record the last digit of my serial number is a 1.

[justjohnson]

Yes, JCI ships all FX20/FX40/F60 devices with a default IP address of 192.168.1.149. The literature that comes with the device also says this. This caused confusion this summer when JCI's literature stated the IP address was the above but in reality they were being shipped with Tridium's standard default IP scheme. That has been "fixed" now and JCI Jaces should be 192.168.1.149.

For the FX20, 40, 60 you should be able to set your computer to 192.168.1.1, plug into the ethernet port, go to the command prompt and ping 192.168.1.255. You'll get a reply back with the FXs correct ip address.

I am trying to use the Jace serial shell and hyperterminal to change the IP and I followed every step but when I get to "After some number of seconds, text should appear in the HyperTerminal window similar to:

Press any key to stop auto-boot... " nothing happens. Hyperterminal remains connected. any ideas.

[jjackson7]

I added null modem adapter. still no luck.

Did you forget to set your lappy TCP/IP ?????????

[jjackson7]

no i didn't set the laptop ip to match the controller. i didn't think this was necessary when using the serial port. i did set it when i tried to telnet with a crossover cable, but it looks like telnet wasn't enabled on the jace (i could ping but i couldn't open telnet connection). i talked to tridium support and they didn't mention that either but i will sure try it and report back. thanks.
