Summary: |
This article describes how to find or set a device IP address. |
Locate or add the IP address of a device to add it to the server.
Before you begin, power on your Cutsforth monitoring device and connect a removable drive. Use either a type C drive or a type A drive with a type C converter. If you are using an encrypted USB flash drive, make sure that it is formatted to use the FAT32 file system.
Once you have mounted your Cutsforth monitoring device, either find and use the device's IP address or set the IP address to one you receive from your IT department. In either case, save a copy of and update several fields in the device's networkInfo.json file.
The following table shows all supported values for the IP Address Request Mode field:
|
