When  the  left mouse  is  clicked  on  the  device  model  name,  the  default  browser  of  the  PC  is 

automatically launched and the IP address of the target device is already filled in the address 

bar of the browser. 

 

If  you  work  with  our  devices  regularly,  then 

there  is  even  a  better  way  to  discover  the 

devices in the network

 

– by using 

IP Utility

. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not 

only  discover  the  devices,  but  also  list  lots  of  valuable  information,  such  as  IP  and  MAC 

addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple 

devices at the same time. 

 

The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from the website.

 

When  you  launch  IP  Utility,  the  list  of  connected  devices  in  the  network  will  be  shown.  See 

sample illustration below: 

 

 

 

You  can  quickly  notice  the  device

 

model  in  the  list.  Click  on  the  IP  address  to  automatically 

launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target device  already filled in 

the address bar of the browser.
