Network Configuration

Network

Networks with a DHCP server

When connecting for the first time, connect the network adaptor to the network then connect the power supply. The Miniserver will then boot from the inserted MicroSD card which stores all the firmware and user data. Once you've done this, you should be able to see the Miniserver in Windows in the 'Network' folder.

To see the Miniserver in your 'Network' folder, the "automatically search network" function in Windows must be activated.

 

 Login

Connecting to the Miniserver

The Miniserver automatically creates a hostname beginning with 'lxl' and ending with the last 4 digits of its serial number. By double-clicking on the Miniserver, the admin interface will open in your browser - the default username and password are both "admin". You don't need the browser interface for the moment. Once up and running, the Miniserver will get an IP address from your DHCP server. Its time will also be set automatically when a connection to the internet has been established.

Conection problems are often caused by firewalls or antivirus software. If you experience problems, then try disabling your firewall / antivirus and re-connecting.
 IPv4

Networks without a DHCP-Server

To connect directly to your Miniserver, you'll need a crossover Ethernet cable or a Switch/Hub. The default IP address of your Miniserver is 192.168.1.77.

Setting a manual IP address

If there's no DHCP server or router to assign an IP address to the Miniserver, you must set one manually. By default, this should be in the range 192.168.1.x.

Configure Miniserver

Changing the IP address of your Miniserver

If you want to set another IP address for your Miniserver, you can do this in our configuration software. In Loxone Config, click 'Configure Miniserver' under the Maintenance tab.
 MAC

Assign a static IP-Address

First, enter the MAC address (serial number) of your Miniserver. To manually set an IP address, remove the tick by "Set address automatically". Enter the desired IP address and click Send. Your Miniserver is now assigned to the new IP address.
