3. IP/Ethernet configuration
Our Ethernet interfaces come with a factory IP address 192.168.1.20. An IP address is a number that is
unique to any particular device within a network. In order to communicate with your interface, you need
to manually set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.1.xx, where “xx” is any number other than 20.
You cannot have both devices (interface and computer) with the exact same IP address, but both need
to be within the same subnet (192.168.1.xx).
To configure your computer to work with our Ethernet interface:
1. Connect your IP/Ethernet interface to your computer and to its power supply (9-12V DC).
2. Change your computer’s IP address to match the interface's subnet mask. Start from Window’s
Control Panel, then Network Connections. Double-click on the Local Area Network connection, then
click on TCP/IP, then Properties. Change from “Automatic” to “Use the following” IP address, and type:
IP 192.168.1.xx (xx is any number larger than 10, different from 20)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Leave all other fields blank, then click OK. Wait a few moments while the connection is reset between
the interface and computer. Close the Local Area Network properties window.
3. Start the Compu Live software.
