GM1196 R-Series v5 Instruction Manual
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.
The new settings will take effect 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.
