USER GUIDE

Board Configuration 

Note that this is a password protected page - Factory default user = "Keene" and default password = "Electronics"

config

  • View the modules MAC address. It is not possible to alter this. 
  • Set the modules Host Name – for example you might want one called "lounge" or "Study" or "Bernard", whatever you like really.
  • IP Address. This is where you can change it from the factory default or DHCP assigned to one that better suits your network if required. You must have un-checked the DHCP option on the options page or any change will not be effective. Also note that once changed, you may not be able to connect to it again straight away without first reconfiguring your computers network settings.
  • Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0 and we recommend you leave it set at this. The only time this should really altered is if you have more than 255 devices on you local network.
  • Gateway address. If the initial DHCP was successful this is usually set to the IP address of your router, and can be manually entered if required. 
  • DNS Server 1 & DNS Server 2. The Domain Name Servers will usually have auto configured with the initial DHCP and can be edited if required. 
  • UDP port used for IR. The default is 65432. See "Advanced" help section "UDP Port" for more detail.
  • Target Emitter MAC & IP address. Will show the currently selected Target IP address. The MAC address is displayed for reference only. If the MAC address is shown as all FF's the MAC address has not been resolved. This is not necessarily a problem as not all modes of operation require the module to attempt to resolve it.
  • Save and reboot. If anything has been altered you will need to reboot the module to make the changes permanent.
