Find the Z3-DME-04 Using ZFinder

ZFinder is a PC Utility that allows you to find any Z3 Technology product on your network. If you have

not yet downloaded this to your computer, you can find it on the USB drive provided with your system.

(1)

Verify your PC is set to DHCP. If it is set to a static IP address, ZFinder will be unable to discover

your encoder, or it will appear in red and you will be unable to proceed further.

(2)

Run the “ZFinder” PC Utility on your Windows PC(found on the USB Flash Drive provided to you with

your order from Z3 Technology).This software scans your local network for any connected Z3

devices. In the example below, the Z3-DME-04 appears on IP 192.168.1.117.

Figure 6 ZFinder with Z3-DME-04 Selected

*Note

Selecting “Edit Device” allows for manual changes to network settings. Selecting “Flash

LED’s” is not applicable to the Z3-DME-04 as there are no LEDs.

*Note:

If the device appears in red, there is a network error, and network settings will need to be

modified in order to access the user interface.

(3)

Select the Z3-DME-04, enabling the action buttons at the bottom of the window. Click “Open

Device” to open the web interface for the selected device in your default web browser. Z3 Strongly

recommends the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome for best compatibility with our

products.
