Network Setup
The Watchdog 100 has a default IP address for initial setup and access. Once you have
assigned an IP address, the default IP address will no longer be active. To restore the
default IP address and reset all user-account information, if the user-assigned address or
passwords are lost or forgotten, press and hold the network-reset button located to the
right of the Ethernet port for 15 seconds.
To completely erase ALL of the user settings and restore the unit back to its factory-
default state, disconnect power from the Watchdog 100, then press and hold the network-
reset button while powering up the unit.
The Network page (located under the System Tab) allows you to assign the network
properties manually, or use DHCP to connect to your network. Access to the unit
requires the IP address to be known. Use of a static IP or a reserved DHCP is
recommended. The default address is shown on the front of the unit:
