After physical connections, the encoder will obtain an IP address via DHCP by default. To access the web- באזירט פאַרוואַלטונג צובינד:

1. Ensure your computer is on the same network as the encoder.
2. Use a network scanning tool (e.g., IP Scanner) to find the encoder's IP address on your network. The default IP address is often 192.168.1.168, but this can vary based on your network's DHCP server.
3. עפענען א web browser and enter the encoder's IP address in the address bar.
4. Log in using the default credentials (refer to the included quick start guide for default username and password).
