Before you can begin the configuration of your PES1A/PESV1A 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 PES1A/PESV1A 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 PES1A/PESV1A
Using the Discovery Software
1. Connect the PES1A/PESV1A 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 PES1A/PESV1A, start
the finder.exe utility included on the included CD.
Figure 9. 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 PES1A/PESV1A by its MAC address (printed on a
label on the PES1A/PESV1A).
