This guide will walk you through switching from a REDFOX (SMA) version to the Westermo LYNX replacement version.
Preparation
- Document the IP address for the router.
This information can be found on your SCADA drawings, or attached to the original router via site/epc labeling - Download the configuration file.
Attached to this page below is the default configuration file, it will need to be modified before it can be used. - Modify the configuration file.
After downloading the file, use a text editor to view it. Change the "iface vlan2 inet static" to the IP address you documented previously. Change the "route default" to the gateway of the onsite scada network.
