Before attempting to connect to the PostX Module it is necessary to know the IP address that it is currently set
to. The default factory setting for the WiFi interface IP address of the PostX Module will be: 192.168.1.3
The suggested methods for connecting your PC or laptop to the PostX Module include via either a switch/hub
or a direct connection as outlined in the section on the Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface (see page 13).
