Factory default network settings

After a factory reset, the DragonFly returns to the following network configuration:

SettingDefault value
DHCPEnabled (automatic IP)
Device nameDragonfly
Fallback IP address192.168.3.67

With DHCP enabled, the router will assign an IP address automatically. If the DragonFly cannot reach a DHCP server, it falls back to the static IP 192.168.3.67.

Reset procedure

You will need a USB cable and a PC. The reset takes about a minute.

  1. Power down the DragonFly. Disconnect the power supply from the unit.
  2. Open the enclosure. Remove the four corner screws and lift the lid.
  3. Connect the USB cable. Locate the internal USB connector on the DragonFly board and connect it to a PC using a USB cable. Also reconnect the DragonFly's power supply at this point.
  4. Wait for the indicator LEDs. Watch the LEDs on the board. When the activity LED begins to blink rapidly and the power LED turns orange, the factory reset is complete.
  5. Disconnect the USB cable. Once the LEDs confirm the reset, unplug the USB cable from the PC.
  6. Close the enclosure. Replace the lid and tighten the four corner screws.

Note: you do not need to install any drivers or run any software on the PC. Simply connecting the USB cable triggers the reset process automatically.

After the reset

With the DragonFly back on the network, open a browser and navigate to http://dragonfly to access the web interface and reconfigure network settings as needed. If the hostname doesn't resolve yet, try the fallback IP: http://192.168.3.67.

Once you can access the web interface, you can assign a static IP or rename the device before reconnecting the DragonFly software.
