Mantis Encoder 

 

Mantis Shelf 

The Mantis Shelf can mount up to six 
Mantis encoders and provides power 
supply and power distribution to the 
encoders.   

Install the encoders by securing them 
with the included screws (two on top, two on the bottom).   

Connect power using the included cables from the power distribution 
box to each encoder. 

Connect each Mantis to your network via Ethernet (you may find it 
convenient to use an inexpensive Ethernet switch associated with each 
shelf). 

Note that it may be difficult to see the MAC address label once the 
Mantis is mounted in the shelf. You should copy the MAC 
addresses, or mark them on your own visible labels.  The MAC 
address help you identify each Mantis when using the Mantis IP 
finder program. 

 

Mantis Finder 

Use the Mantis IP Finder to locate the Mantis encoders on your 
network.  The finder must be used on the same network as the 
encoders.  The discovered encoders will show their MAC addresses to 
help you identify the Mantis.
