Quick Start

The DRx system comprises three independent Autopilot 1x units. Consequently, the configuration procedures and software tools are identical to those used for a standalone Autopilot 1x. Each of the three internal units must be configured individually using the Veronte Autopilot 1x applications (consult the Veronte Autopilot 1x Software Manual).

To set up and configure the DRx system, please read the Software Installation section of this manual, followed by the Hardware Installation section.

Warnings

• The DRx system features a dedicated synchronization capability required to operate all three units as a unified redundant architecture. Please note that purchasing three standalone Autopilot 1x units does not enable this synchronization, and they cannot be configured or utilized as a DRx system.

• The same software version must be installed across the three 1x units. Firmware version of 8.2 or higher is required.

• Warnings for Veronte Autopilot 1x also apply to the DRx system. Please read them in the Warnings - Quick Start section of the 1x Hardware Manual.

Requirements

• Power supply of 6.5 - 36 V for every DRx 1x unit.
• A computer with one Ethernet connection combined with an Ethernet switch, or three dedicated Ethernet ports. Alternatively, USB-to-Ethernet adapter can be used.

Basic Connection for Operation

To review a basic connection example for a Autopilot 1x, which must be replicated for the units within the DRx system, please refer to the Basic Connection Diagram section of the 1x Hardware Manual.

Firewall Configuration

Users must enable the UDP port 52000 in the firewall to ensure the correct operation of the Autopilot 1x Ethernet connection.
