8 Chapter 1: Configure the ControlSpace Designer network
Use more than one ESP-88
Each ESP-88 is shipped with the IP address set to 192.168.0.160. If you
are using more than one ESP-88 you will need to change the IP address
of the additional ESP-88s to avoid a conflict (for example, to
192.168.0.161). Follow these steps to set IP addresses when connecting
multiple ESP-88s to your local network:
1. Connect the first ESP-88 to the Ethernet hub.
2. Launch ControlSpace Designer software and choose System >
Network Setup to open the Network Setup window.

If your ESP-88 does not appear in the Network Setup window,
check the cable connection and press the Scan button.
3. Select the ESP-88 and press the Change to... button to change
the IP address of the connected ESP-88. The Address setting
window opens. Each ESP-88 must have a unique IP address in
your local network. You must change the IP address of this first
ESP-88 so there are no conflicts when you connect the next ESP-
88 (which also has a default IP address of 192.168.0.160).
Note: When using two ESP-88s, you must change the IP address of the
first ESP-88 that you connect so that there are no conflicts when
you connect the next ESP-88 (each ESP-88 is shipped with the
same default IP address).
