A NOTE about networks without a DHCP server. By default, the RUC powers up the

first time out of the box in DHCP mode. If there is no DHCP server to provide an address, after

a few seconds, the RUC will give itself a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.241. If you are on a

network with the 192.168.1.x address space, merely type in 192.168.1.241 to access the RUC.

However, if your network uses a different address space, such as 10.0.0.x or 192.168.2.x, in

order to change the IP address of the RUC, you will need to connect the RUC first to a PC

(using an ethernet crossover cable) that has been set to the 192.168.1.x address space, change

the address of the RUC to an address in the desired address space, and then repower the RUC.

Now you can connect the RUC to your network and access it using the new IP address. Don’t

forget to change the IP address of your PC back to its desired IP address.

Resets

S1 – Reboot (Press and hold until LED stops flashing, then release)

S2 – hold 3 seconds, go back to factory default IP settings (DHCP is selected)

Hold 6 seconds, go back to all factory defaults

For a complete reset to get back to factory defaults, press both switches at the

same time, then release S1. The LED will do nothing for a few seconds, then

flash 3 times, then do nothing for a few more seconds, then flash 6 times. Reset

back to factory defaults is now complete. If you just want to reset to factory

default IP settings, press both switches at the same time, then release S1. After

both LEDs flash 3 times, release S2.

Alternative method to reset board to factory defaults:

Remove power to board.

Press in S2 and hold

Reapply power to board

Wait 6 seconds until you see the LEDs flash 6 times in succession

Reset is complete

Setting Up Home Automation

If you are going to use the RUC with UPB, then connect a Web Mountain SPIM-

01 to COM1 on the unit using the serial cable included with the PIM. Plug the

SPIM-01 into a power outlet. Recognize that the COM ports on the RUC look

like the serial ports on PCs – they are DTE ports, meaning that they will provide

a positive voltage on pin 4 of the DB9. You can use other manufacturer’s PIMs

with the RUC, however, there are special functions built into the WMT SPIM-01

that will improve performance, especially when accessing Upstart over the

Internet.

If you are going to use another home automation protocol, connect that

protocol’s serial interface unit to COM2. Make sure you go to the Device

Configuration page and configure the serial port parameters as required.
