Unit Information Section

The controlling of the CobraNet device is accomplished by using the unit’s IP address.  To
determine the unit’s IP address, please refer to the CobraNet Discovery section of this manual.

IP Address:

This is where you enter the IP address of the unit you would like to control.  The IP Address
number, for example, should look something like 192.168.1.100.  The IP address of a
particular unit,  could change for a particular unit from day to day.  If the network has other
equipment added to it, the IP address will be reassigned to avoid having two units with the
same IP address.  It’s best to always view the CobraNet Discovery program first in order to
obtain the current IP address for a particular unit.

Name:

In this field you can enter in a custom name for a unit in order to aid in its identification. For
example, ST7.

Location:

In this field, text can be entered to help identify where a particular unit is located.  For
example, Left Cluster Position 1.
