click the Find All button.
All devices on the same subnet as your computer will be displayed with their IP addresses and other information.
On a network without a DHCP server
Without a DHCP server, an IP address is not assigned to the Monarch device. You must assign a static IP address
and then configure your computer's network to allow a connection between your computer and the Monarch.
The default IP address 169.254.1.11 is provided when in Static IP mode.
