FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
1. If I am upgrading from a previous version of NX-595E what do I need to do?
The new NX-595E will automatically configure itself in the cloud and provide email and
remote access services without further configuration.
Older versions of NX-595E required port forwarding to allow remote access. The new
version does not require port forwarding so please remove any port forwarding settings
from your router as these may interfere with the new cloud service.
2. Do I need port forwarding?
No, the new NX-595E does not require port forwarding. Built-in cloud services
automatically configure remote connections so it is easier to get online.
3. Do I need an email server?
You do not need an email account to send emails as the new NX-595E will send emails
using a secure cloud service. This is automatically configured and you only need to
specify the destination email address(es).
4. How do I connect/program the NX-595E?
a. Default the NX-595E following the instructions below.
b. Ensure your router supports DHCP (most do out of the box).
c. Connect the NX-595E to it using an Ethernet cable. The router should
automatically assign the NX-595E module an IP address.
d. On a keypad connected to the NetworX security system, enter *8 [Master PIN]
0# 191# 21# which will tell you the IP address of the NX-595E. Press * to scroll
through each segment of the IP address.
e. On a computer enter the IP address into a web browser to bring up the login
page. Your NX-595E must remain in program mode to allow access.
f. Login to the NX-595E. The default username/password is installer 9713
g. You can now program any additional settings you require via the Web Server
5. What if I cannot connect to NX-595E with my computer?
a. Check that your router has DHCP enabled, refer to your router manual for
details.
b. Default the NX-595E. This will ensure DHCP is enabled.
c. Check that an IP address has been allocated in Feature 21 of the NX-595E. If
it is 0.0.0.0 then DHCP is not working correctly. You should assign the NX-
595E a static IP address in Feature 21. Make sure that it is on the same
subnet as our computer and that the IP address is not used by another device.
d. Put the NX-595E into program mode by using a keypad and enter device 191.
By default this is an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorised remote
access. Then try again from a web browser. You can also enable web access
permanently on the NX-595E in Feature 19, Segment 1, Option 6 = On
e. While the NX-595E is in program mode: On a windows computer, click Run,
type cmd, press enter, then ping [ip address]. If there is an error it will show
“timed out” and you should check your network. If you see a time then
computer can talk to the NX-595E. You can also enable ping permanently on
the NX-595E in Feature 19, Segment 1, Option 4 = On.
