Once connected, Beam TX will assign your device an IP address in the 192.168.2.x range. Beam TX’s web interface can be accessed at 

192.168.2.1

, and the RTSP stream (if RTSP server is enabled) can be opened with 

rtsp://192.168.2.1:8554/stream

. Beam RX can be 

found at 192.168.2.2. 

Please see your computer or tablet’s user guide for information on connecting to Wireless networks. 

Note:

 Beam operates on the 802.11a/n 5GHz band. Ensure that your device has a 5GHz compatible wireless adapter.
