Configuring the ES1A

Chapter 4: Configuring the IP Address

Before you can begin the configuration of your ES1A you must know its IP address to access it with a web browser. Once you have access to the Configuration and Management Interface via a web browser you can reset the IP address using static IP addressing, if necessary.

Your ES1A comes from the factory configured to obtain an IP address dynamically, or failing that, to generate its own IP address using the APIPA protocol. You can determine the current IP address using the discovery software included on the CD with your ES1A

Using the Discovery Software

1.Connect the ES1A to your network (with PoE supply installed and operating). When it starts it will obtain an IP address.

2.To determine the initial IP address of your ES1A, start the finder.exe utility included on the included CD.

Figure 5. Discovery Utility Dialog

3.The finder.exe utility scans the network for devices and then lists each device’s IP Address, MAC Address, Name and Product ID. Identify your ES1A by its MAC address (printed on a label on the ES1A).
