Before you can begin the configuration of your ES1A you must know its IP
address to access it with a web browser. Once you have access to the
Configuration and Management Interface via a web browser you can reset the
IP address using static IP addressing, if necessary.
Your ES1A comes from the factory configured to obtain an IP address
dynamically, or failing that, to generate its own IP address using the APIPA
protocol. You can determine the current IP address using the discovery
software included on the CD with your ES1A
Using the Discovery Software
1. Connect the ES1A to your network (with PoE supply installed and
operating). When it starts it will obtain an IP address.
2. To determine the initial IP address of your ES1A, start the finder.exe
utility included on the included CD.

Discovery Utility Dialog
3. The finder.exe utility scans the network for devices and then lists
each device’s IP Address, MAC Address, Name and Product ID.
Identify your ES1A by its MAC address (printed on a label on the
ES1A).
