2. IP Finder
a. The GSM 100 is shipped with a static IP address of 192.168.1.20. Set your
computer address to an address in the same domain, 192.168.1.3 for example or if
you have a spare router you can also set that to 192.168.1.1
b. Start the IP Finder.exe .
i. If the network is available,
the local IP Address is shown.
You can double click on it to
go directly to the encoder.
Figure 1
ii.If the network is NOT
available, then No GSM 100
found is shown
Figure 2
Tip:You can double click the column of IP address or MAC address, and the home page of the
encoder will appear.
