Accessing the BeoLink Gateway 19
Accessing the BeoLink Gateway
When BeoLink Gateway is delivered, it is per default set to DHCP. This means it gets its IP address from the router it is connected to.
Access to the BeoLink Gateway can be done in more ways, of which three are dealt with in the following.
Accessing in DHCP mode
The BeoLink Gateway gets its IP address from the router it is connected to (the ISP router or the B&O Recommended Router). Similarly connect the
computer to the router, and enter the IP-address of the router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the network browser and look-up the IP-address allocated the
BeoLink Gateway. The computer must be in DHCP mode.
Enter this address in the network browser to access the web-interface of the BeoLink Gateway.
Accessing in static IP address mode
When the BeoLink Gateway is assigned a static IP-address, according to the network plan determined by the router, the web-interface of the
BeoLink Gateway can be accessed by entering this address in the network browser.
To access the BeoLink Gateway in this way, it must first be connected (in DHCP mode) to the router and the static IP-address is then set as
described in Network settings
.
Accessing directly
The BeoLink Gateway is set to fixed IP-address mode by activating the Setup button function (3); see
.
The computer and the Network Link socket of the BeoLink Gateway must be connected directly to each other using an Ethernet cable. The
computer must have an IP address in the same range, e.g. 192.168.1.11 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The BeoLink Gateway is then accessed directly by the factory default IP-address:
192.168.1.10
entered in the network browser.
This method can also be used if the IP address is forgotten.
Discover IP addresses
There are more ways to find out which IP address a device has in a network. The rfollowing metds are examples:
- Use a network scanner/IP-scanner, e.g. the free-ware: Fing. Best result is obtained using a hand held device; remember to access the Wi-Fi network
used for the BeoLink Gateway.
- Use the BeoLink Setup App; remember to access the Wi-Fi network used for the BeoLink Gateway.
- Use a computer on the same network as the BeoLink Gateway and using e.g. the Safari browser. Lookup BLGW.local as URL and the Bonjour
service will discover IP addresses in that network.
