NUREX is configured primarily through Ethernet port

Following are 3 simple steps to initiate NUREX configuration.

Step 1: On ZENYX bootup, the device waits for 5 seconds for user to start configuration server. The ZENYX screen shows the following message (with countdown from 5 to 0):

During the countdown, short press the Config button (present on top left side) to start the configuration server.

Do not long press the Config Button. Just push and release!

Step 2: Once the button is pressed, the device will enter in AP (Access Point) mode, meaning a Wi-Fi network will be broadcasted. The Wi-Fi SSID name and password are displayed on the ZENYX screen. Connect the laptop to the given Wi-Fi.

Details of Wi-Fi created by ZENYX are displayed on the ZENYX screen and are as follows:

  1. Wi-Fi SSID: yu10001031

  2. Wi-Fi password: 12345678

  3. ZENYX IP address: 192.168.4.1

Troubleshooting Guide to connect to ZENYX Wi-Fi

1) In some cases, Wi-Fi may be shown as "Open network". In this case, no need to enter Wi-Fi password.

2) At times, the Wi-Fi setting on laptop may be showing "Connecting.." instead of "Connected to Wi-Fi" after ZENYX Wi-Fi is selected. No need worry. Please open the Configuration URL (192.168.4.1) on laptop. It should simply open.

3) In case of further trouble, please "Forget" any previously stored Wi-Fi names linked to ZENYX.

Step 3: This is how ZENYX configuration page looks like on laptop.

While laptop is connected to local Wi-Fi of ZENYX, internet will not be accessible on the laptop.

ZENYX will keep the configuration server running for up to 5 minutes on inactivity. All ZENYX configuration will be done through this page as covered in subsequent sections.

ZENYX Configuration Sections

Following are the main sections in YuDash ZENYX Configuration page:

  1. ZENYX Device Information: This is read-only section with ZENYX model, hardware and firmware information.

  2. Network Setting: This section is used to configure network connectivity of ZENYX. Depending on model, ZENYX can connect to internet through (a) 4G/LTE (SIM card) (b) Wi-Fi or (c) Ethernet LAN. It can also work in offline mode (when it is used for local storage or display only).

  3. ZENYX Settings: This is main section in which all features of ZENYX are configured. It includes (a) Data send frequency, (b) Feature enable/disable (given industrial protocol) and (c) Custom cloud selection. Detailed configuration of a given feature is done in subsequent sections.

ZENYX Device Information

ZENYX Device Information read-only section with ZENYX model with following information:

  1. Part No: The device part number.

  2. Serial No: Unique serial number of the device.

  3. Hardware Ver: Hardware PCB version.

  4. Firmware Ver: ZENYX firmware version.

  5. Default Device Settings: By default, each ZENYX gateway is pre-configured with "YuDash Cloud". Effectively, given IoT gateway is mapped to a unique "device" on YuDash IoT platform.

  6. Get Mac Address Button: This button fetches the MAC address of the ZENYX IoT gateway. This MAC address is used for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

ZENYX Features

ZENYX supports various integration with various industrial protocols and cloud platforms. Each feature is covered under a different section in configuration page. It is scrollable from left bar.

In most of cases, each section (or its sub-section) has an open, read and update button.

Finally, one needs to do an "Update and Preview" and write to ZENYX, as explained in applicable LYNX tutorial.

For first time users, it is recommended to write to ZENYX, power cycle the device and verify that given changes were actually updated in device.

Following are the list of sections in Configuration page. These are documented as part of LYNX manual or separate integration guides.

MAC address of ZENYX is required for use of IoT gateway in enterprise networks for security purpose. The MAC address is required for "White Listing" of the gateway.

In some cases, MAC address and static IP of device is tightly coupled to gain access to the network.
