8. Setup Network

From the Menu tab, select Setup Network

8.1 Type of Connection and Configuring WiFi

The default network connection setting is LAN, DHCP (dynamically assigned IP address).

To connect to your wireless network, select the Wireless LAN option and enter the wireless network

settings, as shown in Figure 11.

To convert from LAN to Wireless LAN, select Save and Apply and Reboot, and disconnect from

your router. The IP address will likely remain the same and can be accessed in a few minutes through

your browser.

8.2 IP Address

You can change from DHCP to manually assigning the IP address, as shown in Figure 11 (this is only

an example, your network settings will be different). In most cases, you will not need to change the IP

address to a static IP on your network.

To convert from DHCP to statically assigned IP address, select Save and Apply and Reboot.

The IP address can be accessed in a few minutes through your browser. Wait until the status light on

the WeatherBridge transitions from blinking rapidly to a solid.

8.3 Restoring the default IP Address

In the event the IP address cannot be accessed and the status light is blinking rapidly, plug the

WeatherBridge into your router, press and hold the status light until it blinks once, then let go. The

WeatherBridge will reboot and wait until the status on the WeatherBridge transitions from blinking

rapidly to a solid.

8.4 Restoring to Factory Default

To restore the WeatherBridge to factory default, plug the WeatherBridge into your router, press and

hold the status light until it blinks five times, then let go. The WeatherBridge will reboot and wait until

the status on the WeatherBridge transitions from blinking rapidly to a solid.
