NSTALLATION
The initial configuration of the device is fully performed through the web interface, and therefore the
installation begins with connecting it to the local network.
2.1
Physical setup
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector marked LAN on the front panel.
2. Connect input power to the plug on the rear of the unit.
2.2
Access the web interface setup
1. When switched on for the first time, GMAC-5 attempts to acquire an IP address automatically from
DHCP on the network. In the case that there is no DHCP server available in the network – for
example, when you are connecting GMAC-5 directly to a computer – or in any other case of failure to
set the IP address automatically, the device falls back to the default address of
192.168.0.198
, subnet
class C. This process can take up to one minute.
2. When configuring the GMAC-5 through a direct connection to a computer, the “network segment” (the
first 3 nodes) of your computer’s IP address must match the network segment of G4’s default IP
address. So, change your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask to
“255.255.255.0”.
Remember to return your computer to its original IP settings when you're done, otherwise this may
cause issues on your LAN.
3. You can find GMAC-5 on your computer network by running the Discover.NET software, which is
compatible with Windows XP and later Windows releases. Discover.NET can be downloaded from
. The software is very easy to use, and it lists all
Gamatronic devices in the current subnet.
4. Type the device's IP address in to web browser's address bar and press enter. You should see the
main web interface screen. This is the place to begin the configuration.

See chapter 5 for further details on the software configuration process.
