Flex IP/Flex IP with PoE

Flex IP (FLEX-IP) and Flex with Power over Ethernet (FLEX-IP-P)

The Flex IP requires a Flex Link Cable for various connectivity options (infrared, serial, relay/sensor). For options, see our product list or contact an authorized dealer.
Power up your Flex IP by connecting it to your local network via an RJ45 cable and to a power source with the included USB supply. Note: if you have a PoE model (Flex-IP-P), you can skip the USB power when using a PoE switch.
Connect the appropriate Flex Link Cable to the device’s 3.5mm Flex Link port.

The Flex IP will typically receive an IP address from your network’s DHCP server.
Windows users can find the IP address using our iHelp utility, available for download from our website.
For other operating systems, locate the IP address via your router’s interface or a third-party IP scanner, matching the MAC address found on the unit’s label.
If your network lacks a DHCP server, the default IP is set to 192.168.1.70. It can be accessed directly with a PC and ethernet cable by configuring the IPv4 settings on the PC for an IP address in the same subnet range of the default IP. Example below:
TPC IP config: IP address: 192.168.1.85, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: NONE.
Disable any additional network connections, such as WiFi.
iHelp does not detect the unit while directly connected to a PC.

Access device settings by entering the IP address into a browser.
To assign a static IP in Network Settings, switch off DHCP and input your desired IP.
To configure the Flex Link Cable settings, choose the type of cable connected and configure as necessary. Remember to save your changes.
