4.4.2 Configure the Compute Box as a Scanner

NOTE:
Temporarily the Compute Box will be needed to be connected to your
computer.
To configure the Compute Box to be a Scanner you will need to access the Web Client interface of the
Compute Box on your computer. To do that first the Ethernet interface needs to be set up to have a proper
communication between your computer and the Compute Box. It is recommended to use the Auto Mode
(factory default) for IP settings of the Compute Box. For further details on the available IP settings modes
see Ethernet Interface setup.
Then do the following steps:
• Connect the Compute Box to your computer with the supplied UTP cable.
• Power the Compute Box with the supplied power supply
• Wait one minute for the Compute Box LED to turn from blue to green.
• Open a web browser on your computer and type in the IP address of the Compute Box (factory
default is 192.168.1.1).
