IP Addressing (finding the WeatherBridge)
There are several different ways to read the IP address of the WeatherBridge (easiest first):
Use the Magic IP Finder (preferred). Reference 4.1.
Use a network software scan tool. Reference 4.2.
4.1
Magic IP Finder (preferred)
If the WeatherBridge Status light is solid green, it has made a connection to the internet. Simply type
the following web address into your computer’s web browser, and the MagicIP Finder will find your
IP:
http://magicip.meteobridge.com
The date and time of the last successful connection will be recorded. Here is an example:
Meteobridge TL-MR3020 (MAC A0:F3:C1:C9:34:EE) with LAN IP
192.168.0.42
at
2013-02-19 20:25:29.
If prompted for the Username and Password, enter:
Username: meteobridge
Password: meteobridge
4.2
Software Scan Tool (alternate IP finder)
The WeatherBridge is programmed from the factory for dynamic addressing (or DHCP). This allows
to you to address the unit from any computer on your network without modifying the IP address.
However, since it is dynamic, you will have to determine the address that was assigned to the unit.
To determine this address, download a free IP scan tool here:
