Canopy Default Plug

When inserted, the default plug brings the module up with a default configuration. This allows the
operator to regain control of a module, which may be using an IP address and/or password that
has been forgotten. The default plug will also override the passwords for access and change
control and set the LAN1 IP address back to 169.254.1.1. This does not, by itself, change any
configuration, rather, it allows the operator to attach to the module using the default configuration
so that they can read the actual non-default values and set them accordingly.

The following steps outline the creation of a default plug (this plug can also be purchase for a
nominal fee at

http://www.best-tronics.com/motorola):

• Obtain a RJ-11, 6-pin connector and a small length of CAT 5 cable.

• Pin-out all 6-pins according the following diagram and then short (i.e. solder) together

pins 4 and 6 on the other end. Remaining wires should not be connected to anything.

The following diagram shows the wiring of a default plug:

• Insert “default plug” in the GPS sync port of the module and apply power to the module

via its Ethernet cable.

When the module is booted up (power applied) it will be in default mode where the IP address will
be 169.254.1.1 and the passwords will be blank. All other configurations will have been preserved.
