Connecting to the ZyPerMX
By default, each ZyPerMX encoder uses a static IP address of 192.168.1.10. In order to
connect to the unit, and depending upon your network setup, it may be necessary to adjust
the IP settings of the computer so that it can connect to the ZyPerMX.
For example, if the computer being used to connect to the ZyPerMX has an IP address
of 10.5.64.223, then it will not be able to connect because 192.168.1.10 is within a
different subnet. In order to connect to the ZyPerMX, temporarily change the IP address of
the computer to something like 192.168.1.x, where x can be any number except 10.

The Maestro Web Interface
The ZyPerMX features the Maestro web interface. Maestro allows you to control and
manage all features of the ZyPerMX. To access Maestro, open a web browser and enter
the IP address of the ZyPerMX into the address bar. We recommend using Firefox or
Chrome browsers.
Logging In
1. Make sure that the computer used to access Maestro and the ZyPerMX encoder are
on the same network. If a network is not being used, the ZyPerMX can be directly con-
nected to the computer. In both cases, the ZyPerMX and the computer must be
on the same subnet.
2. Launch the web browser and enter the default IP address of 192.168.1.10 in
the address bar.
3. The Maestro interface will be displayed with the password dialog.
