After
Device Manager
is installed, open the program and simply click “
Scan for Devices
” to find any device that is on the
same physical IP network as your computer. The list will include the unit MAC address, device type and the unit name.
Alternatively, if you know the public IP address of a Comrex device and TCP port 80 has been forwarded to that device,
you can manually add the device and perform certain functions such as updating firmware from outside your network.
Once a unit is selected, five tabs appear on the right-hand pane.
The first tab is the
Device
tab. This tab will give you the current IP address and network settings. As a security measure,
network settings may only be changed during the first 5 minutes of your Comrex product operation. If you wish to
change your network settings, you will have to reboot your unit and make the changes right away.
