Find the Serial Number and IP Address
There are many times when you need to know the sensor's serial number and IP address. A
serial number is permanently associated with the sensor, and it is the key for knowing
which IP address belongs to a sensor. An IP address changes over its lifetime. The various
methods for discovering a sensor's serial number and IP address are explained in the
following subsections.
The IP address, in either dynamic or static assignment, is essential for communicating with
the M8 sensor over the Ethernet TCP connection. The "Edit Network" section on page 51
explains in detail how to configure the sensor to accept a static or dynamic IP address.
Hardware Label Reveals Serial Number
Find the serial number on the sensor's hardware sticker labels:
• The sticker on the rectangular base plate (Figure 20 left) has an abbreviated serial
number, which is QP and last six digits (without the leading zeroes) of the sensor's
MAC address (Figure 21).
• The manufacturing label on the sensor's round mounting base (Figure 20 right) has
the full serial number, whose last six digits match the last six digits of the sensor's
MAC address (Figure 21).

Q-View Software Reveals Serial Number and IP Address
Quanergy's Q-View Sensor Management and Visualization software offers a visual tool to
identify sensors that are attached to the same network as Q-View's host computer. This
convenient tool reveals each sensor's serial number and IP address. The last six digits of the
sensor's MAC address (without leading zeroes) are the sensor's abbreviated serial number.
