Motorola CAnopy Override Plug: Default Plug

Make sure you are using RJ12 and not RJ11 ends. (The difference being 6 brass tabs instead of 4) RJ11’s are physically the same size as RJ12’s but will not work.

pin 1 white / orange (GPS sync)

pin 2 white / green (Serial Tx 9600)

pin 3 white / blue (Serial Rx 9600)

ping 4 green (Default Jumper)

pin 5 blue (Audio /GPS Power sync)

pin 6 orange (Ground)

This override plug resets the LAN 1 IP address to 169.254.1.1. The plug allows the operator to access the module through the default configuration without changing the configuration. The operator can then view and reset any non-default values.

Acquiring the Override Plug

To fabricate an override plug:

1. Install an RJ-12 6-pin connector onto a 6-inch length of CAT 5 cable.
2. Pin out all 6-pins.
3. Short (solder or twist together) Pins 4 and 6 on the other end. Do not connect any other wires to anything. The result should be as follows:

Pin 1 → white / orange ← Pin 1
Pin 2 → white / green ← Pin 2
Pin 3 → white / blue ← Pin 3
Pin 4 → green ← Pin 6
Pin 5 → blue ← Pin 5
Pin 6 → orange← Pin 4

here's how you should number your RJ-11 6-pin socket..




Using the Override Plug

The operator can regain access to the module as follows:

1. Insert override plug into the RJ-12 GPS sync port of the module.
2. Apply power to the module through the Ethernet cable.
RESULT: The module reboots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1, password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set.
3. Set passwords as desired.
4. Change configuration values if desired.
5. Save the settings.
6. Remove the override plug.
7. Power cycle the module.
