Use the Web Manager to set the device IP address if required. If a DHCP assignment is sufficient, proceed to change the port assignment:

And lastly, set the correct Baud Rate of 1200 in the serial settings:

NOTE: To confirm the updated Baud Rate, you must exit and re-enter via Web-Manager

Connect the G452-006 to WinPlus-IP To add the G452-006 Ethernet to Serial adapter (UDS1100) to WinPlus-IP, go to:

Connect the Wireless Controller and Receiver

The wireless transmitter and receiver are the Handyport HPS-120 and the manual can be downloaded here:https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1214418 /Handywave-Hps-120.html

To connect the Wireless controller to the Receiver, first put a fully charged 9v battery into the foot controller battery tray:

Then turn the unit on by depressing the power button near the antennae of the unit and the switch will show an ORANGE dot when in the ON position:

The receiver will confirm the units are paired when the LNK light is illuminated GREEN. The receiver will confirm data is being transmitted when the OPR light is flashing RED.

The button actions and scroller sensitivity can be adjusted in the CONFIGURATION window within the
device’s EDIT window.

Troubleshooting

Here are a list of issues and steps to resolve them:

• Receiver will not pair with foot controller
  • Check battery
  • Open foot controller and check transmitter
  • Re-pair transmitter and receiver units (see Handyport HPS-120manual)
• Battery is dying quickly
  • The battery is expected to work for 2 hours continuously
  • Rechargeable battery life may be shorter
  • Long distance between the transmitter and receiver will reduce battery life
• Controller is GREEN in WinPlus-IP, but controller is not working
  • The GREEN indicator in WinPlus-IP only indicates connection to the G452-006 (UDS1100) Ethernet to serial adapter. Check connection from the adapter to the receiver and the connection between the receiver and the transmitter.
