IP Address 

You can change from DHCP to manually assigning the IP address, as shown in Figure 10 (this is only 
an example, your network settings will be different). In most cases, you will not need to change the IP 
address to a static IP on your network. 
 
To convert from DHCP to statically assigned IP address, select 

Save and Apply and Reboot

.     

 
The IP address can be accessed in a few minutes through your browser.

Restoring  the  default  IP  Address  and  Restoring  to 

Factory Default 

If  you  make  changes  to  your  network  or  you  incorrectly  configured  the  static  IP  address  of  the 
WeatherBridgePro, you may need to restore the WeatherBridgePro to factory default. 
 
In  the  event  the  IP  address  cannot  be  accessed  and  the  status  light  is  blinking  rapidly,  plug  the 
WeatherBridgePro into your router, and press the reset pinhole (reference Figure 2) with a sharp tool 
or open ended paperclip to restore to factory default.   
 
You will be presented with various menu options. Keep pressing the factory reset pinhole to select the 

FACTORY RESET

 and wait for the WeatherBridgePro to reboot. 

 
The  WeatherBridgePro  will  reboot  and  wait  until  the  red  status  light  on  the  front  of  the 
WeatherBridgePro transitions from blinking rapidly to solid.
