Connecting to your Device

All iaconnects MobiusFlow nodes (Mobius Gateways, Mobius Servers, and Mobius BCMs and LCMs) have a built in configuration application to simplify the setup and configuration of these devices. This is a web based app which does not require any special software installed on your PC or laptop other then a compatible web browser. We recommend the latest versions of Safari for MacOS or Google Chrome for Windows and MacOS.

By default, all devices come with DHCP enabled on their ETH0 ethernet ports, but the IP addresses and network settings can be changed using a USB stick by following the Changing Mobius Device Network Settings instructions.

Connecting to a Mobius node via DHCP

1. Using a standard CAT5E or CAT6 network cable plugged into ETH0, connect your Mobius device to your network and power it up.

Finding the Mobius device's IP address

1. Open a command prompt or terminal on your laptop or PC.
2. Locate the Mobius device's UUID. This will be on a sticker on the device or in the documentation that came with the device.
