LEDs
The APC has 6 green LEDs located on the side panel: Power, LAN and 4 RSSI LEDs
(refer at the Figure 2 – Overview for details). The various states of the LEDs indicate
different connection operations as follows:
LED Status Indication
On APC is active/working Power
Off No power on APC
LAN
RSSI (1, 2, 3, 4)
On LAN connection exists.
Blinking Indicates the traffic on LAN interface.
Off No LAN connection.
On The RSSI level has reached the appropriate
threshold level.
Off The RSSI level has not reached the appropriate
threshold level.
Antenna Polarization
Antenna polarization is a very important consideration when installing an antenna. The
APC Propeller 2 and APC Propeller 5 are integrated with a built in antenna, therefore
the polarizations depends on the mounting position of the device (item 1 in the Figure 1
– Package Contents) on the insert bracket (item 2 in the Figure 1 – Package Contents).

APC Management
The first connection to the APC Propeller 2 or APC Propeller 5 can be made using a
standard Ethernet cable connected directly to your PC. See next sections for the
instructions on how to access the APC management interfaces.
Access the APC
The default IP address of the APC Propeller 2 and APC Propeller 5 is 192.168.2.66
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Step 1 Configure your PC with a static IP address on the 192.168.2.0 subnet
(i.e. 192.168.2.10) with mask 255.255.255.0. Connect the APC
Ethernet interface in to the same physical network as your PC. Open the
Web browser and type the default IP address of the APC:
https://192.168.2.66/
Step 2 Enter the APC administrator login details to access the Web management:
The default administrator login settings for all APC Propeller 2 and
APC Propeller 5 are:
Login: admin
Password: admin01
Step 3 After successful administrator log on you will see the main page of the
APC Web management interface. The APC Propeller 2 or APC Propeller
5 now is ready for configuration. For further instructions on Web
management refer to the respective document APC User Guide.

Quick Installation Guide
APC Recovery
The APC Propeller 2 and APC Propeller 5 units have following recovery options:
Reset button (refer at the Figure 2 – Overview). Press and hold the Reset button
using a pen or a paper clip for 1 second to reboot the device; press and hold the
Reset button for more than 5 seconds to set the device to factory defaults.
Resetting to defaults via Ping (follow the instructions on Resetting APC via Ping
section).
TFTP recovery mode. Power-off the unit, then press and hold the Reset button
(refer at the Figure 2 – Overview), power-on the unit and hold Reset button for
more than 5 seconds – the APC unit will boot in recovery mode.
Resetting APC via Ping
APC Propeller 2 and APC Propeller 5 have the capability of being reset to defaults by
pinging the device with a certain packet size when the device is booting. During the
startup of the device, when the drivers of the Ethernet interfaces are loaded, the reset
program is started. The reset program suspends startup process for 3 seconds and
waits for ICMP "echo request" packet of length 369 bytes. If the packet received, the
reset daemon sets the device to default configuration.
It is recommended to connect PC to the device via switch, as
depending on PC OS settings, the ARP table might be flushed during
wired link status change (connecting the device that will be reset).
Steps to reset to default settings:
Step 1. Power off the APC device.
Step 2. Obtain the device MAC address.
Step 3. Connect a PC to the same physical subnet as the device.
Step 4. Execute 'arp -s' command to assign the IP address (IP address
Step 5. Start pinging the APC device:
Step 6. Power up device and wait about 30sec or more (depending on device
should be from the same subnet as PC) to the device MAC address:
arp -s <IP address to assign> <device MAC address>
Note that syntax of MAC address differs depending on OS:
For Linux users: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
For Windows users: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
For Linux users: ping <IP address> -s 369
For Windows users: ping <IP address> -l 369 -t -w 200

Step 7. Stop pinging the APC, and let the device boot as usual. The device
should start up with factory default settings.
