¶ HID Aero Configuration
In this section we will cover how to configure HID Aero device and use it with CredoID.
¶ Setting the jumpers
- If attached, unscrew the four corner casing screws.
- Remove the X1100 casing to access the battery jumper and the end of line termination jumpers.
- Set the battery jumper J4 to ON.
- Set IO Module Port 1 and 2 end of line termination jumpers J5 and J9 to IN, only if the X1100 will be the end of communication bus.
- Replace the casing and secure with the supplied four corner casing screws.
The static RAM and the real time clock are backed up by a lithium battery when input power is removed. This battery should be replaced annually.
¶ Connecting to device
- Connect an ethernet cable to the device and enable factory default settings, by turning DIP switch 2 to ON. This will enable factory default communication parameters.
- Network: static IP address: 192.168.0.251
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
- DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
- Set DIP switch 1 to ON. This will enable default user name admin and password password.
- Open a web browser and connect to device over default IP address: http://192.168.0.251
¶ Creating a web user
Create an optional web interface user if you want to change device settings later.
- Navigate to "Users" tab.
- Click "New User" button.

- Set all DIP switches to OFF position.
- Click "Apply Settings" on the left menu. Device will reboot.
Now you can add device in CredoID which will appear in "Discover" list.
Make sure there is an incoming connection exception in your firewall settings for port 3002.
