To get the actual IPv4 address allocated to the ATOM GRID unit you may have to use an
advanced menu on your router that is password protected. See your local router
instructions.
For example, a UK SKY network routers generic log in is ‘
admin’
and the password is
‘
sk
y’.
Others will differ. Then choose Maintenance followed by Attached Devices. For
example, if the IPv4
address allocated for your unit with the default hostname ‘ognpaw’
is 192.168.0.200 then use this. The allocated IPv4 address will vary from router to
router.
Also, please note if the router is powered down it
may
allocate a different IP address.
This is called dynamic IP allocation. This can be overcome by giving the OGN-R a fixed IP
address. How this is done varies between router makes and is not done in the PilotAware
software.
