Connecting to a New Sensor
Sensors ship with the following default network configuration:
Setting Default
DHCP Disabled
IP Address 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
All Gocator sensors are configured to 192.168.1.10 as the default IP address. For dual sensor setup, the Main
and Buddy sensors must be assigned unique addresses before they can be used on the same network. Prior
to proceeding, connect the Main and Buddy sensors one at a time (to avoid an address conflict) and use the
steps in the Customizing Network Settings section (page 30) to assign each sensor a unique address.
To connect to a sensor for the first time:
1 Connect cables and apply power.
Sensor cabling is illustrated in the System Overview
section (page 13)
