Quick Start Guide
Flex IP/Flex IP with PoE
Flex with Power over Ethernet (FLEX-IP-P)
Getting Started
• The Flex IP requires a Flex Link Cable for
various connectivity options (infrared,
serial, relay/sensor). For options, see our
product list or contact an authorized
dealer.
• Power up your Flex IP by connecting it to
your local network via an RJ45 cable and
to a power source with the included USB
supply. Note: if you have a PoE model
(Flex-IP-P), you can skip the USB power
when using a PoE switch.
• Connect the
appropriate Flex
Link Cable to the
device's 3.5mm
Flex Link port.
Discovering the IP Address
• The Flex IP will typically receive an IP ad-
dress from your network's DHCP server.
• Windows users can find the IP address
using our iHelp utility, available for down-
load from our website.
• For other operating systems, locate the
IP address via your router's interface or a
third-party IP scanner, matching the MAC
address found on the unit's label.
• If your network lacks a DHCP server, the
default IP is set to 192.168.1.70. It can be
accessed directly with a PC and ethernet
cable by configuring the IPv4 settings
on the PC for an IP address in the same
subnet range of the default IP. Example
