Find IP Address
Apply power and turn the front panel switch to the on position. Allow a
few minutes for the unit to boot up.
The Mantis is configured for DHCP and will obtain an IP address
automatically. To find the IP address used, insert a USB Flash Drive
into the USB connector and wait a few moments. Mantis will write a
file “IP.txt” which you may then open on a computer to read the IP
address. The USB must be formatted FAT16 or else the file may not
write properly.
You may also use the finder application to discover the IP address over
the network, or you may search your router’s DHCP table to find the IP
address used.
Configuration
Enter the IP address in a browser. When prompted, enter default
username and password:
Username: admin
Password: 000000
