Set Mercury Controller IP

Version: 1.0 | Created: November 2024

Complete this step first, before adding the Mercury controller in QxControl.

The default IP address for Mercury controllers is 192.168.0.251. If this doesn't fit your network, follow these steps to change it.

Set a PC or laptop to an IP address in the 192.168.0.x range (ex. 192.168.0.253).
Connect it to the switch with the Mercury devices.
Ping 192.168.0.251. If it replies, continue. If it doesn't reply, you may not be connected to the right switch port, or the Mercury device may not be. Double-check all cabling and switch settings.
Set DIP switch 1 to On. You have 5 minutes to log in after this.
Browse to 192.168.0.251 in your web browser.
Log in using the default username and password (admin / password).
Log in to the webpage at 192.168.0.251 again.
Click Host Comm and verify Data Security is set to TLS if Available.
Select Network and set the IP to your desired address. Add any other network settings needed.
Save and Accept.
Set DIP switch 1 back to Off.

Once QxControl makes a successful connection to the device, it automatically adds a secure set of credentials.
