User Manual - Initial Setup and Installation
1. Connect units as shown in Diagram #1. A source of power will be needed for both
units. A single supply can be used to power both units, or a separate supply can be used
for each unit.
2. DIP Switch #1 on both units should be in the “ON” position. This setting places the
units in setup/diagnostic mode.
3. Apply power to both units. After a short delay, both units should begin communicating.
This will be indicated by the Amber communication LED flashing rapidly on both units ,
and the Diagnostic LED flashing Green slowly.
4. Move DIP Switch #1 to “OFF” on both units. The Amber communication LED should
stop flashing. The units are now in Normal “Quiet” mode. This preserves network
bandwidth. Periodically the units will establish contact with each other to verify the data
link. Communication will also occur when a change in I/O status occurs such as a contact
changes state, or a badge is read.
5. Verify Quiet Mode operation. Place a jumper between one of the LED inputs on the
Central unit and Ground. You should see the Amber communication LED on both units
flash to indicate a change of state.
If everything operates up to this point, the units are ready to be installed.
NOTE: The units are shipped from the factory with a default TCP/IP Address for each unit.
As shipped, they will communicate with each other without changing any settings. If more
than one pair are operating within range of each other at the default settings (same
address) then the units will interfere with each other and unpredictable operation can
result. When performing initial testing on multiple pairs, only test one pair at a time to
eliminate the possibility of interference. If only one pair are in use, the factory default
settings can be left in place.
The DPX-7212 operates in the same manner as the DPX-7000 wired version. This
document covers the network portions of operation. Refer to the DPX-7000 user manual for
details on the I/O and data format operations. The DPX-7212 operates in the same manner
as all other members of the Duprex series, except that the data link is provided by an
Wireless TCP/IP connection.
It is suggested that a bench top verification as described below be performed. This will
provide a known reference point of proper operation, and will greatly aid in troubleshooting
in the event of problems.

Diagram #1 DPX-7212 Initial setup - Typical connections
All you need to do is apply power to both units. They will start communicating
immediately unless there are other units with the same IP addresses. No
router is necessary for initial bench testing.
User Manual - Initial Setup and Installation

User Manual - Initial Setup and Installation
Each Duprex DPX-7212 pair is configured with a default TCP/IP address.
Duprex Central = 192.168.1.58
Duprex Remote = 192.168.1.59
It may be necessary to change these settings to be compatible with the network that will be
used in the final installation. The DPX-7212 system requires the use of fixed IP addresses to be
assigned to the units. It may be necessary to coordinate with the System Administrator before
placing the devices on a network.
The Lantronix WiPort Device Installer program can be used. Each order for the DPX-7212 will
include a CD containing the program. If for some reason the program has not made it to you, it can
be downloaded from www.lantronix.com under support/downloads/WiPort Device Installer.
This manual will describe how to change the IP address for the units using the WiPort
Device Installer software. Once the Addresses have been set to be compatible with the network,
final installation can be made. It will be necessary to have a wireless 802.11 router to change the
TCP/IP settings.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe switch/router and other complex network settings
and topologies. It will be incumbent upon the end user or system administrator to determine how to
configure their network equipment to allow operation of the DPX-7212 units.
During the configuration process some settings may be changed inadvertently that will cause the
units to cease operation. A strap is provided on the WiPort Module to reset to Standard Duprex
Defaults or Factory Defaults.
Duprex Defaults set the unit to the “shipped from factory” setting. This allows the Central and Remote to communicate directly
with each other without a router by setting static IP addresses.
WiPort Defaults set the unit to DHCP mode in order to initiate configuration using the Installer Driver Software.
Service Mode 1 (Central Unit) does not change the WLAN settings but forces continuous polling for installation and
troubleshooting.
Service Mode 2 is reserved for future use.
Normal Operation Mode is the recommended operational configuration. Network traffic is reduced to event driven communication
and periodic supervision.
The different modes of operation are described below:

©2005 Cypress Computer Systems,Inc. • www.cypressworld.com 3/30/05 Page 8
Duprex 7212 Operational Modes
Duprex Defaults: Set DIP switch #1 ON, switches 2-8 OFF. Install the Factory Default strap
onto the Duprex radio board (See DIP Switch settings - quick reference). Cycle power to the unit.
The unit will reset itself to the Cypress factory default settings. The Diagnostic LED will flash
Green about 30 times and will illuminate a steady green when the process is finished.
If the diagnostic LED turns Red, a problem has occurred with the reprogramming process. If this
happens recycle power to the unit. A steady Green LED will indicate a successful reset of the
unit.
After completing this procedure for both the Central and Remote units, they should communicate
with each other using the fixed default IP addresses.
WiPort Defaults: Set DIP switch #1 and #2 ON, switches 3-8 OFF. Install the Factory Default
strap onto the Duprex radio board (See DIP Switch settings - quick reference). Cycle power to
the unit. The unit will reset itself to the WiPort factory default settings. The Diagnostic LED will
flash Green about 30 times and will illuminate a steady green when the process is finished.
If the diagnostic LED turns Red, a problem has occurred with the reprogramming process. If this
happens recycle power to the unit. A steady Green LED will indicate a successful reset of the
unit.
This mode sets the units to look for a DHCP host on the 802.11 network and is used only to
establish initial communication with the Device Installer software for configuration purposes. The
units will not communicate with each other using DHCP and must be provided with fixed IP
addresses. The final configuration will have to be completed manually through the Lantronix
Device Installer program.
Service Mode 1: Set DIP Switch #1 ON, 2-8 OFF. Remove the Factory Default strap from the
Duprex radio board. Cycle power to both units. The units will reset and should begin
communicating with each other. The amber comm LED should flash rapidly as communication
takes place. The Green diagnostic LED should flash slowly on both the Central and Remote
units. This mode is useful for diagnostic purposes, and to determine if the units are within range.
Normal Operation Mode: SET DIP Switch #1 OFF, 2- 8 are set according to the data format and
other required options. Cycle power to both units. The units will reset and will briefly
communicate. The Green diagnostic LED should flash slowly on both the Central and Remote
units. This mode is used to conserve bandwidth, communication is minimized.

Duprex 7212 Description of Operation
The DPX-7212 uses Wireless 802.11 communications to relay door/gate signals and reader data
to an access control panel. There are several parameters that may need to be changed in the
field to use the units at a particular site.
If only one pair of units is utilized at a particular site, and there is no existing wireless network,
then the units will work together right out of the box with no further changes necessary. The two
units will form an “Ad Hoc” network and establish a link between the Central and Remote.
It may be necessary to change some of the network settings if:
a. An existing network is on the site and the user would like to access the modules through the
network. i.e. change settings or mointor status through the wireless network.
b. Secure encryption of the data link is required. See AN-DPX-7212-1 which describes the
process for securing the wireless link.
c. More than one pair of units will be used at the same site.
d. There is a need to change network names or channel numbers to eliminate interference.
If a wireless acess point is available when the units power up, the units will connect the the
access point and use its facilities for communication. If the access point lost due to power or
other problems, the link between the Central and Remote will be lost.
If the units do not “see” an access point at power up, they will form the “Ad Hoc” network and will
ignore any access points not seen at power up. In other words, the access point has to be
powered up and ready before the Duprex units are running.
The following pages detail basic setup and configuration using an 802.11 access point and the
Lantronix® configuration software.
Advanced users can refer to the Lantronix® documentation for further details on the operation
and configuration of the Wi-Port® modules used with the DPX-7212 system.
