Help Desk How do I access the NDI interface on my Telescript Monitor?
In order to access the NDI User Interface on your monitor, the first thing you need to do is ensure your computer and your monitor are on the same network and set to the same IP range. For instance, if your network is on a 192.168.10.* configuration, you will need to alter the IP address of the display to conform to your network, as the display defaults to a 192.168.1.* configured network.
To check what IP range your network is in:
- Open the Start menu, type cmd, and press Enter.
- Type
ipconfigand press Enter. - Look for IPv4 Address (e.g.,
192.168.1.15) and Subnet Mask (e.g.,255.255.255.0). If your IP address falls in the 192.168.1.* range you should be able to find your monitor on the network (see below).
- Open Terminal (Press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, and press Enter).
- Type
ipconfig getifaddr en0(oren1for Wi-Fi) and press Enter to see your IP. - Type
ifconfigto see the full details under your active network adapter. If your IP address falls in the 192.168.1.* range, you should be able to find your monitor on the network (see below).
If your IP address is NOT in the 192.168.1.* you will need to configure your computer to the same IP range as the monitor's default, which is 192.168.1.168.
In general, you can adjust your computer's IP address like this:
255.255.255.0 for the Subnet mask.- Open System Settings and click Network.
- Click your active connection, then select Details or Advanced.
- Go to the TCP/IP tab.
- Change Configure IPv4 to Manually.
- Type your custom IP address and subnet mask, then click O
Now connect the computer to the display using an ethernet cable. Open a browser, type http://192.168.1.168 into your URL bar to access the monitor's login page. The default login is Admin/Admin.
If the web page does not load, open your terminal (on Mac) or command prompt (for Windows) and type ping 192.168.1.168 to verify the physical connection.
Navigate to the NETWORK section of the monitor's NDI interface to adjust the IP configuration to conform to your network IP range. Once complete, reset your computer to DHCP (automatic IP settings) in your Network Adapter section (see above), connect the computer and the monitor to the network, and try to connect using the instructions below.
You may or may not need to restart your computer to have the IP change take effect.
Once your computer and device are on the same IP range, you should be able to simply open a browser and type either the assigned IP address of the monitor or its default IP address (192.168.1.168 if you did not have to change the IP range) in the address bar. You should be led to the monitor's login page (credentials are Admin/Admin). If you are led to a different device that happens to have the same default as the display, try using the NDI Studio Monitor app to locate the device.
