Getting Started  

1.

 

Connect the speaker’s main Ethernet port—labeled 

POE

—to a network 

using a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet connection. When 
connected, it will power on immediately, and the 

LINK/ACTV

 status LED 

will begin to blink.  
 

2.

 

Locate and note your speaker’s MAC address. It is printed as a QR code 
on a white sticker on the front of the speaker. Simply scan the QR code 
with a smartphone or tablet QR reader app, and it will give you the MAC 
address for that speaker. 

 

3.

 

Your speaker will automatically recognize and register with the 
InformaCast server when you power up and connect to the network via 
PoE. Use the InformaCast server interface to discover your speaker’s IP 
address. Look for the device matching the MAC address you just noted.  
 

4.

 

When you first connect your speaker’s Ethernet cable, the status LED on 
the face of the speaker will blink slowly, indicating that it is trying to 
discover its IP address. Once its IP address has been established, it will 
blink faster, indicating that it is trying to register with InformaCast. It will 
maintain a solid green state once it has successfully registered with the 
InformaCast server. 
 

5.

 

Once you determine the speaker’s IP address, navigate to that IP 
address in your Web browser (for example, 

http://123.456.78.9

).
