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 added to the end of its 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. If this is the first log-in to a new unit, use the factory default credentials, User ID: admin Password: secret
► What To Do If Network Discovery Fails
If using a wired computer network connection, and your mXa-1502 does not appear on the computer's network device list,
it may be necessary to disable WiFi on your computer to allow discovery. Also confirm the computer is set for automatic
(DHCP) IP configuration.
Automatic versus 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 expires or devices are rebooted. You'll need to rediscover the mXa-1502 any
time its automatic IP address gets changed. To avoid future discovery steps, connect using the hostname address, (see
Getting Started section), or assign a Static IP address to the mXa-1502.
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.
