For example:
2.
When groov Admin opens, log in (see page 20 ).
Open groov Admin using groov Find (Windows only)
groov Find is a utility included on the groov CD that locates your groov Box on the network and
provides a link so that you can access the groov applications. It is useful if you have multiple groov
Boxes, because it finds and lists them all. You can easily switch from one Box to another, for example
when updating
groov .
NOTE: You need to have Administrator privileges on your Windows account to use groov Find. If you do not
have this information, contact your IT department.
1.
Open groov Find. If a message appears asking if you want Find to be allowed to make changes
to your computer, click Yes.
NOTE: Clicking Yes permits Find to have temporary administrative privileges to create an additional
temporary link-local IP address for each network interface on the computer. This enables Find to
locate a groov Box on a network that does not have DNS and DHCP.
If the network does not have DNS and DHCP, you will need to assign a static IP address to the groov
Box in order to maintain communication. (See
“Assigning a Static IP Address” on page 22 .) If the
network does have DNS and DHCP, the temporary IP address is not used and is removed when you exit
Find.
groov Find opens and automatically searches for groov Boxes on the network.
