5. Installation of the RFXtrxLAN 

Connect the antenna. 
Connect the 5V/1Amp DC power supply and the Ethernet cable. 
The red LED of the RFXtrx should be on for about 3 seconds followed by a short blink of the 
green/yellow LED. And the right LED on the Ethernet connector should blink and the left LED should 
be on. 
 
Note: Do not locate the RFXtrxLAN close to metal objects, electronic equipment or power lines. 

6. LAN version 

6.1.  Configure the LAN controller 

 
The RFXtrxLAN is delivered with DHCP.  
To find the IP address of the RFXtrxLAN use for example the free NetScan tool 

https://www.netscantools.com

  

 
Use a browser to configure the LAN-controller and enter the IP address of the RFXtrxLAN, for 
example: http://192.168.1.237 or use the Host Name 

http://rfxtrxlan

  

 
Default Username / Password: admin admin 
 
Set a fixed IP address for normal use. (select DHCP OFF) or configure the RFXtrxLAN in your router. 
If multiple RFXtrxLAN devices are in use set the Host Name unique. 
 
Advice: If you change the Username/Password write it down on a label inside the RFXtrxLAN
