    • The "Run" LED should light up blue as pictured once the encoder has powered up.
  3. At this point we are ready to reconfigure the networking on your computer to connect to the encoder

⇧ Back to Top

Connecting to the Encoder

  1. On your computer, open control panel.
  2. Search for and open Network and Sharing Center.
    • Click on the active "Ethernet" Connection on the right.
    • Within the Status popup window, click "Properties".

  2. Click "Save" to apply your changes.
  3. Once the Encoder is set to DHCP, it does not fall back to a static IP if there is no DHCP server, you must prepare a DHCP lease in order to fix the IP for access to the encoder web interface.

Static IP

  1. Select the "Static IP" Radio button
  2. Fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Servers that you want set for the encoder.
  3. Click "Save" to apply your changes.

Adjust Encoder Credentials
