Step 2. Connect a laptop or PC to the Ethernet port of your eBridge16PCRX unit, or connect your eBridge16PCRX and
laptop/PC to a DHCP router if eBridge16PCRX is in DHCP mode. The eBridge16PCRX unit should be
powered up at this moment.
Step 3. Open a browser window (it is necessary to update your browser software to the latest version so that the pages
display and function correctly).
Step 4. Enter the eBridge16PCRX IP address (the default IP address is 192.168.168.168), or enter the eBridge16PCRX
host name if in DHCP mode (default host name is “eBridge16PCRX1”,) into the address bar.
Status page will be displayed.
Configuring eBridge16PCRX for network connection:
Since every Network Configuration is different, please check with your Network Administrator to see if your
eBridge16PCRX should use static IP addresses, or DHCP assigned IP addresses and/an Inbound Port assignment prior to
setting up network connection.
1. Click Network Settings link.
If you are prompted for an administrative password, type and submit the password.
Note: Default settings have password requirements turned off .
2. Network Setup page will be displayed. You may now configure your eBridge16PCRX for network
connection.

Network Type:
Static IP User can set a fixed IP for network connection.
DHCP DHCP server in LAN will automatically an assign IP configuration for the network connection.
IP
This field shows the eBridge16PCRX current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually. If
DHCP this value will be assigned automatically.
Subnet Mask
This field shows the subnet mask for your network so the eBridge16PCRX will be recognized within the
network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Inbound Port Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.
Host Name
Name of the eBridge16PCRX device on the LAN
Additional Information:
1. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically.
While DHCP is a useful tool for determining the network settings, if you set up your eBridge16PCRX in this manner
its IP address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power failure. If the IP address
of the eBridge16PCRX changes, you may have difficulties accessing your eBridge16PCRX locally and/or remotely.
It is strongly recommended that you connect via host name when units configured as DHCP.
Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the eBridge16PCRX by the router as its static IP address unless you
