1. Introduction
The RFXtrxLAN can have the RFXtrx433XL or RFXtrx868XL transceiver installed.
The RFXtrxLAN is not designed for the RFXtrx433E but can used if you have soldering experience.
The transceiver is accessed using TCP/IP.
The default settings are:
- TCP port 10001 and DHCP
- Username/Password: admin / admin
Important:
The USB connection of the RFXtrx must not be used!!
It can’t be used because the data connection is not present and the USB power is connected to the 5V
power adapter.

3. Install the RFXtrx433XL or RFXtrx868XL in the
RFXtrxLAN.
Important:
First thing to do is cut the PCB trace between the connection point R and the FT230X pin 15.
With a PTF (PressToFit) connector in the RFXtrxLAN:
- Press the RFXtrx on the PTF with the antenna connector upwards.
With a solder header in the RFXtrxLAN:
- Solder the RFXtrx on the header with the antenna connector upwards.

4. Install the RFXtrx433E in the RFXtrxLAN.
The RFXtrxLAN is not developed to have the RFXtrx433E installed in the RFXtrxLAN in an easy way
but it is possible with some solder and glue work.
It is not advised for people without soldering experience.
1. Cut one trace at the top side.
2. Remove the 4 pins header from the RFXtrxLAN PCB. (or request RFXCOM to deliver the
RFXtrxLAN without the 4 pins header)
3. Solder 4 wires between the RFXtrxLAN PCB and the RFXtrx433E.
4. Fix a small 5mm bar with double sided tape next to IC2 (FT232 chip) and position the
RFXtrx433E on the RFXtrxLAN PCB so that the USB connector fits in the front panel and the
antenna connector is correct positioned in the case.
Cut one trace at the bottom side.

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

6.3. Configure the TCP communication
The RFXtrxLAN is delivered with the correct configured TCP Server with port 10001
You can change the Local Port and Max Accept if required.
Set Max Accept to 1 unless you want to connect the RFXtrxLAN with multiple applications

7. WiFi version
7.1. Configure the WiFi module
For the first time you connect the RFXtrxLAN using a laptop.
Power the RFXtrxLAN and connect the WiFi network with SSID HF-A11x_AP
When the wireless connection is OK, open a web browser and access http://10.10.100.254
Connect with username / password: admin / admin
7.2. Set STA (station) mode
7.3. Configure the STA settings
Configure the AP to be used, click on Search and select your WiFi network.
Set the fixed IP address for the TCP server, for example
192.168.1.100
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.255
8.8.8.8

7.4. Configure the UART.
Select 38400,8, None, 1, Disable
Set MAX TCP num to 1 unless you want to connect the RFXtrxLAN with multiple applications.
8. Restore factory settings
Version without Restore button:
•Make a connection for at least 3 seconds between pin 6 and 10 of the LAN controller.
