Devices
Web Page Interface on HQ Plus and ST Plus
Use Windows Internet Explorer (or similar web browser) to access the HQ Plus or ST Plus to configure the device for
operation.
To use the web page, the user must know the IP address (ie http://192.168.0.35) of the HQ Plus or ST Plus, and the Host
PC must be on the same LAN IP segment as the HQ Plus or ST Plus.
Setup of the HQ Plus is performed using the web page interface.
If an ST Plus is operating in "activated" mode, only the web page status page will be available - no changes can be
made via the web page.
PING Function
Enter the Windows command line utility (Start>Run>cmd>).
Enter the command “ping 192.168.0.35” to test if the Host PC can communicate with the device at IP address

The ping test must come back with a positive reply, to indicate that the PC can communicate with the device at the
specified IP address.
IPCONFIG Function
Enter the Windows command line utility (Start>Run>cmd>).
Enter the command “ipconfig” to get the immediate IP settings of the Host PC.
