## Description

The X1, X2, and XY router controllers share the same hardware and software platform. Occasionally you may receive a unit or experience a unit where the configuration does not match the hardware. For example, you could have an XY controller; however, the web pages indicate it's an X1. There is a simple telnet command to set the type of unit.

> [!WARNING]
> Note that you can NOT convert between types of units. The internal (telnet) setting must match the hardware.

## Setting the type

1. Open a telnet program. We'll use PuTTY for our example.
2. Enter the IP Address of your router control panel
3. Select Telnet from the Connection type: options

> [!NOTE]
> Make sure that port 23 is automatically populated when you pick Telnet
4. Click Open

5. When the login: prompt is presented, enter the name "user" and press enter. No password is required.
6. From the `/home>` prompt, enter the command `xyrmode xy` and press enter.

> [!NOTE]
> You will receive confirmation that xy mode was set and `xyrmode xy saved in /home/xyr`
7. Reboot the unit.

## Settings for other types

Repeat the above steps for the type of router controller you have.

- For an X1 controller, use the command `xyrmode x1`
- For an X2 controller, use the command `xyrmode x2`
