LP2500 Intelligent
Controller
Installation and Specifications
1. General
The LP2500 intelligent controller provides decision-making, event reporting, and database storage for the
Mercury hardware platform.
The LP2500 communicates with the host via on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port or the Micro USB
port (2.0) with an optional Micro USB to Ethernet adapter. Sub controllers are connected via ports 1 and 2
using 2-wire RS-485 multi-drop communication busses. The LP2500 requires 12 to 24 Vdc for power.

Jumpers and Jacks:
The LP2500 controller hardware interface is configured using jumpers to setup the port interface and end of line
termination.
10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port
Port 1 RS-485 EOL terminator is off
Port 1 RS-485 EOL terminator is on
Port 2 RS-485 EOL terminator is off
Port 2 RS-485 EOL terminator is on
DIP Switches:
The four switches on S1 DIP switch are used to configure the operating mode of the LP2500 controller. DIP
switches are read on power-up except where noted. Pressing reset switch S2 causes the LP2500 to reboot.
After initialization, enable default User Name (admin) and Password
(password). The switch is read on the fly, no need to reboot.
See IT security section for additional information
Use factory default communication parameters.
Use OEM default communication parameters. Contact system
manufacture for details. See Bulk Erase below.
Bulk Erase prompt mode at power up. See Bulk Erase below.
Makes the LP2500 report and function like an EP2500. To be used in
situations where the host software has not been updated to support
the LP series product line.
All other switch settings are unassigned and reserved for future use. X = don’t care.
In the factory or OEM default modes, downloaded configuration/database is not saved to flash memory.
Factory Default Communication Parameters:
Interface 1 (NIC1)
Network: static IP address: 192.168.0.251
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Primary Host port: IP server, TLS if Available, port 3001, communication address: 0
Alternate Host Port: Disabled
4. Bulk Erase Configuration Memory:
The bulk erase function can be used for the following purposes:
Erase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board, less third party applications)
Update OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed
Recover from database corruption causing LP2500 board to continuously reboot
If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.
