Setting the IP Address
Each GoMax NX unit and Gocator sensor on the sensor system network must have a unique IP
address. By default, the IPaddresses of the GoMax NX rightmost Ethernet port is set to 192.168.1.6.
To set the IP address of a GoMax NX unit, do the following:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect a computer to the ETH1 port on the GoMax NX unit.
2. On the computer, launch an Internet browser and navigate to 192.168.1.6.
The GoMax NX web interface is displayed.

3. In the Manage panel, click the Networking category.
The Networking category settings are displayed.
4. Under Interface 1, set the IP address and click Save.
The GoMax NX unit power cycles after you confirm you want to change any IP addresses.
Changing network settings disconnects the GoMax unit and stops the acceleration of any
accelerated sensors.
After the GoMax NX unit restarts, its IP addresses are changed.
5. Disconnect the laptop from the GoMax NX unit.
