Purpose:
If you don’t know the IP address of the encoder and this is not the first time you use the encoder, you can use
Advidia Device Utility or the Serial port tools to find out the IP address of the encoder and to configure the IP
address or other network parameters of it. It is recommended to change the default IP address for the first time to
use it.
This chapter aims to tell the procedures of using the Advidia Camera Finder software and the Hyper Terminal
Software to find and configure the IP address and other parameters of the device.
Note:
For the first-time user, the default user name of BEU-4 is admin, and password is 12345. And the default IP
address is 192.0.0.64.
3.1 Hyper Terminal Setup
The common method is to connect encoder and PC with serial line, run Hyper Terminal and modify parameters
with serial command. Please connect the RS-232 port of encoder with the COM port of PC directly, power on the
