The Ambient WeatherObserverIP and WeatherBridge communicate over your local area network.

4. IP Addressing (finding the WeatherBridge)

There are several different ways to read the IP address of the WeatherBridge (easiest first):

 Use the Magic IP Finder (preferred). Reference 4.1.

 Use a network software scan tool. Reference 4.2.

 Read the blinking Status/Reset Lights. Reference 4.3.

 Write IP address to a USB stick (optional). Reference 4.4.

4.1 Magic IP Finder (preferred)

If the WeatherBridge Status light is solid green, it has made a connection to the internet. Simply type

the following web address into your computer’s web browser, and the MagicIP Finder will find your

IP:

http://magicip.meteobridge.com

The date and time of the last successful connection will be recorded. Here is an example:

Meteobridge TL-MR3020 (MAC A0:F3:C1:C9:34:EE) with LAN IP 192.168.0.42 at

2013-02-19 20:25:29.

If prompted for the Username and Password, enter:

Username: meteobridge

Password: meteobridge

4.2 Software Scan Tool (alternate IP finder)

The WeatherBridge is programmed from the factory for dynamic addressing (or DHCP). This allows

to you to address the unit from any computer on your network without modifying the IP address.
