Connecting a web browser to the ClipX

Preparing to connect
You have two options for connecting to the ClipX:
1. You are using the ClipX's default settings (DHCP, automatic address assignment)
a) Make sure that your PC is also using DHCP (Get IP address automatically) –
see also „Set Ethernet address of PC" on page
b) Connect your PC either directly to the ClipX or connect your PC and the ClipX to
your network or switch.
c) After connecting, wait about one minute for the ClipX and PC to set their
addresses before connecting.
2. You are using the ClipX's fixed IP address (192.168.0.234, from firmware 2.0)
a) Enable the ClipX's fixed address as described in the section headed
Ethernet network settings (DHCP), enabling fixed IP address" on page
b) Make sure that your PC's IP address is in the same network segment
(192.168.0.x, where x is a number between 1 and 254 other than 234) – see
„Set Ethernet address of PC" on page
c) Connect your PC and the ClipX by an Ethernet cable. In very rare cases, you will
need an Ethernet cross cable for this. Normally the PC will adapt automatically
to the cable.
Important: The transfer of commands and data is not encrypted or secure
(no https). So you should only operate the ClipX in an internal network with
no connection to the Internet or – if an Internet connection is essential –
connect via a VPN tunnel.
If you want to use multiple ClipX devices, first connector to each individual ClipX
and assign a unique device name (or a fixed IP address) through your web
browser. This will enable you to identify the individual ClipX devices later, oth-
erwise (depending on the connection method you use) it will not always be pos-
sible to distinguish between them.
Connecting
1. Launch your web browser.
The latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 11 or
