Default IP
Right out of the box, the Pixel Octo is factory
configured to be a DHCP node, so you can plug it
into your existing router, and it is good to go.
If the router is unable or slow to assign an IP
address to the driver the default static IP Address
is used.
The IP address can easily be calculated, using the
MAC address as follows:
10.(byte1).(byte2).(byte3)
Note
Where byte1, byte2 and byte3 are the last three bytes of
the mac address in decimal.
For e.g.:
•
If mac address is 0050C2FFFF55 where last three
bytes are FF, FF and 55 default static IP for the
above mac is 10.255.255.85
•
Where byte1 FF is 255 in decimal
•
Where byte2 FF is 255 in decimal
•
Where byte3 55 is 85 in decimal
The built-in web-interface of the Pixel Octo can be
accessed using the IP address via any modern web-
browser. The web-interface allows the settings of
the unit to be changed.
