How to connect to the EM12.
The EM12 is set to use DHCP by default. The easiest method of locating the EM12 is to connect
it to a LAN that has a DHCP server. You can manually assign a static IP after accessing the EM12
setup pages.
If your LAN has a DHCP server enabled:
1) Connect the EM12 to your LAN.
2) Use one of the following options to locate the IP address of the EM12.
a) View the IP address in your DHCP server’s address table.
b) Download and run our Windows discovery tool.
c) Install and run a network diagnostic app such as Fing.
If your LAN doesn’t have a DHCP server enabled:
1) Connect the EM12 to your LAN
2) The default static IP address is 192.168.0.205
