Web Interface
Configuring the OCTO is done through a web interface which can be brought up on any modern web browser.
Note: A Chromium based browser (i.e. Google Chrome) is recommended for accessing the OCTO’s web
interface.
Note: As the OCTO is hosting a web server on the local network and does not feature an SSL Certificate
(used to secure online content), the web browser will display the ‘Not secure’ warning, this is to be
expected.
Identified IP address:
If you are aware of the OCTO’s IP address (either DHCP or Static), then the address
can be typed directly into the web browsers URL field.
Unidentified IP address:
If you are not aware of the OCTO’s IP address (either DHCP or Static) the following
discovery methods can be used on a local network to discover devices:
An IP scanning software application (i.e. Angry IP Scanner) can be run on the local network to return a
list of active devices on a local network.
Devices can be discovered using Art Poll (i.e. DMX Workshop if set to use ArtNet).
The device Default IP address will be printed on the physical label on the rear of the product.
ENTTEC free NMU (Node Management Utility) software for Windows and MacOS (support up to Mac OSX
10.11), which will Discover ENTTEC devices on the Local Area Network, displaying their IP addresses before

Local Area Network (LAN) and be within the same IP address range as the OCTO. For example, if your OCTO
is on Static IP address 192.168.0.10 (Default), then your computer should be set to something such as
