1) From the desktop, click <Go>, then click on
<Network>. The list of all Network devices will
start populating. Wait up to several minutes for
the list to complete.
2) Find your mXa-1502 in the network device
list. The mXa-1502's MAC address is added to
the end of it's name. The MAC address is printed
on a sticker attached to the mXa-1502 back
or side panel. Double-click on the mXa device
name.
3) Double click on the resulting <AquaControl>
icon.
4) Double-click on the resulting <index.html>

use the factory default credentials "admin" for
login name and "secret" for password.
5.3 iOS
1) Use a network device discovery app such as
"Flame®" to see all available network devices.
2) Find the mXa-1502 in the list. Its MAC
address gets added to the end of its name.
3) Tap on the mXa-1502 device to launch
the software. Depending on the app used,
additional address or type lines may need to be
entered before the software will launch.
4) Log in to AquaControl software. Enter your
username and password, then tap the Log In
button. If this is the first log-in to a new unit,
use the factory default credentials "admin" for

5.4 Android
1) Install an Android application that can
discover Network Plug'n'Play devices. There
are several apps that can do this. For example,
"UPnP Tool" is a free discovery app available on
the Google Play Store.
2) Launch the UPnP Tool or other network
discovery application and it will provide a list
of all Plug'n'Play devices on your network. You
should see the MXA1502 listed, with its MAC
address appended to the name.
3) Click on the (info) information icon, ("i" in
a circle), to the right of the item to bring up
the details of the product. Then click on the
<presentationURL> link or the <IP address> link
to launch AquaControl. Your default browser
will launch and connect to the device. It is
recommended to use Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Other browsers are not supported and may
not show content correctly. If this is the first
log-in to a new unit, use the factory default
credentials.
5.5 What to do if Discovery fails?
1) If using a wired DHCP network connection,
and your mXa-1502 still does not appear
on the computer's network device list, it
may be necessary to disable WiFi on your
PC or MAC before initial discovery, and also
confirm the computer is truly set for automatic
configuration (DHCP).
2) Alternatively, try entering the mXa-1502's
unique hostname address in your web browser
address bar. The format is: http://MXA1502_
(your mac address).local/
Here is a complete example of a unique
hostname address:
http://MXA1502_0014AAF00036.local/
DHCP and Static IP: The DHCP server (router),
or direct-connected computer may arbitrarily
re-assign a new IP address to the mXa-1502
after the IP lease time expires, or whenever
the mXa-1502 is rebooted. This could require
you to rediscover the mXa-1502 any time its IP
address gets reset by the router or computer.
To avoid future discovery steps on device
reboot, you can assign a Static (permanent) IP
address to the mXa-1502 as shown below:
To assign static IP from AquaControl
software: Go to [Settings>Network>Network
Configuration] and select [Manual
Configuration]. Save your settings and note the
IP address for future use. Important: If you are
using a router, a static IP address reservation
for the mXa-1502 must also be entered in
your router's IP administration settings. Once
the mXa-1502 has been assigned a static IP
address, the address can be entered into the
browser address bar to connect directly to
AquaControl. Important: You must use an IP
address with the same subnet as your router
and computing device. The subnet is the first
three sections of the IP address. For example,
192.168.1 is the subnet section of IP address
192.168.1.100. Tip: The easiest thing to do
is use the IP address that was automatically
assigned to the mXa-1502 by the router/DHCP
server.
