Local Device Network Settings - Ambient Weather WS-0800-IP ObserverBase User Manual

Figure 12 shows typical scan results. Locate the IP address of the ObserverIP by cross referencing the
Mac address. In the example below, the IP address is 192.168.0.105.
Type the IP address you located from the IP Scan Tool into your web browser (example, Figure 13):
You are now communicating directly to the ObserverIP and can proceed to Section 3.7.

3.7.3 Local Device Network Settings

From your web browser, access the ObserverIP from the IP address obtained in the previous section.
Select the Local Network tab to program the local network settings. Reference Figure 14:
1. IP Address. The default setting is receive automatically (DCHP), which is recommended.
The network will assign an IP address. To statically assign an IP address, select Static from
the pull down menu. This will prevent the IP address from changing each time you power up
the ObserverIP receiver.
2. Static IP Address. If Static is selected as the IP address, enter the IP address you wish to
access the ObserverIP device.
3. Static Subnet Mask. Default is 255.255.255.0. This should not be changed unless you are
familiar with networking and subnet masking.
4. Static Default Gateway. This is typically the IP address of your router.
5. Static DNS Server. This is your DNS Server setting based on your router connection.
6. Server Listening Port. Default is 5000. Enter an integer between 1024 – 65535.
If you made any Static IP Address changes (not recommended), to confirm these changes, select
Apply and Reboot.
Note: If you incorrectly set the static IP settings and can no longer access the ObserverIP, press the
reset button on the back of the module.
