Then open a browser on your computer and go to 

http://192.168.1.10

. You should see the following 

page:

The settings page allows you to change the IP address and sub-net. Make sure that all equipment on 

your network have unique IP addresses.
By pressing the reset button on the device for 3 seconds or more, you will recon;gure the unit to the 

factory default IP address and sub-net mask. No other settings will be changed.

Access via Internet

The Cores are network based and therefor could be accessed via the Internet. There are two ways to 

achieve this: Port-Forwarding and VPN. 
Port-Forwarding is relatively easy to setup in your router. Each router is diFerent so you are advised to 

consult the router's documentation (sometimes it is revered to as NAT or Port-Redirecting). Please note  
that port forwarding is not secure, anybody could access your Art IO/Art SSC this way.
Accessing via a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel requires a bit more to setup, also your router 
needs to support the VPN feature. Once setup, this is a very secure way to communicate with your Art 

IO/Art SSC.
