Click the
System Preferences
icon on the Dock, and choose
Network

Figure 2-6
Mac Network Settings
Be sure
Ethernet
is highlighted on the left side of the NIC window. (In most cases, there will only be
one Ethernet entry on a Mac.)
Select
Manually
from the
Configure IPv4
drop-down list, then set
IP Address
to 192.168.123.1 and
Subnet Mask
to 255.255.255.0. (The
Router
and
DNS Server
settings can be left blank for this initial
setup.) Click
Apply
when finished.
Once the NIC settings are configured properly, you should be able to access the unit by typing
http://192.168.123.123 into the address bar of your web browser. If you are setting up the unit for the
first time, or if the unit has been reset back to factory defaults via the network-reset button, the unit will
require you to create an Admin account and password before you can proceed.
Once you have created the Admin account and logged into it, the unit's default
Sensors
page should
come up by default. Navigate to the
System
tab, then the
Network
page to configure the device's
network properties. The unit's IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS settings can either be
assigned manually, or acquired via DHCP.
Note that the new settings will take effect instantly when the
Save
button is clicked, so the browser will
no longer be able to reload the web page from the 192.168.123.123 address and will probably display
a "page not found" or "host unavailable" message. This behavior is normal. Once you have finished
configuring the unit's IP address, simply repeat the steps above, and change the computer's Ethernet
NIC card settings back to the ones you wrote down prior to changing them, to restore its normal
network and internet settings.
