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).

If you need to change the IP address of the PES1A/PESV1A, you can 
accomplish this using the discovery software, or you can open the Web 
Configuration and Management Interface and do it there. (See Configuring 
Network Settings later in the next chapter.) 
1.  To change the IP address of the PES1A/PESV1A from the 
discovery software, click Configure IP Settings. 
2.  In the dialog that appears, select Manually configure network 
settings. 
3.  Type the new IP Address,  Subnet Mask,  Default Gateway and 
system password (initially dbps) in the appropriate boxes, then click 
Apply. 
4.  Click Reboot Device. This may take a minute or more to complete. 
5.  Click  Refresh List to confirm the new IP address has been 
accepted.
