Sign In to the Hardware Encoder
The encoder has its own settings page that you open in a web browser. You only need it to connect to Wi-Fi, change video levels, or change the bitrate (see Hardware Encoder).
Option 1: Over your network (Ethernet)
- Find the encoder's IP address. Your router lists connected devices, usually under DHCP or Connected devices. Your IT contact can help.
- Type the address into a web browser on a computer on the same network, for example
192.168.1.207. - Sign in with the username
Adminand the password printed on the back of the box.
Option 2: Through the encoder's own Wi-Fi
Use this if you cannot find the IP address. The encoder broadcasts its own setup network.
- On a laptop, join the Wi-Fi network with a name like
A304210101001. - The Wi-Fi password is the last eight digits of that name. For the example above, it is
10101001. - Open a web browser and go to
192.168.48.1. - Sign in with the username
Adminand the password printed on the back of the box.
While you are on the encoder's Wi-Fi, your laptop has no internet. Rejoin your normal network when you are done.
