Network Overview
This product comes preconfigured with a default IP address set. Simply connect to the
Environmental Monitoring Unit and access the web page with your browser.
Default IP Address
GBB100 units have a default IP address for initial setup and access to the unit if the assigned
address is lost or forgotten. Once an IP address is assigned to a unit, the default IP address is
no longer active. To restore the default IP address, press the reset button located beside the
network connector and hold for approximately 20 seconds. The idle and activity lights near the
network connector will both light up when the IP address has been reset.
Note:
Pressing the reset button will restore the default IP address and will also clear all
password settings.
The Configuration page allows you to assign the network properties or use DHCP to connect to
your network. Access to the unit requires the IP address to be known, so use of a Static IP or
reserved DHCP is recommended. The default address is shown on the front of the unit:
IP Address:
192.168.123.123
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.123.1
