Apex controller

It's very simple to set up and should be able to do it without the display.
If you type in apex in the top menu bar of your internet it should find the apex if it's set up and you can do the ip address from there.

..Jason.. That site will provide you with your public IP address.. Tucker will be interested in his private/local IP...

Typically either 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x ..

You might be able to get out of this with a little legwork... If you are able to login to your router, you might be able to determine the IP address the Apex is attempting to link up with.


--Just saw your post.. DHCP... is just that.. The router assigns your ip automagicly thats why i reffered to it as a dynamic IP...

I typed in and it didn't come up with something. I am not sure what the IP address is of my current setup. Whether it be dynamic or not. My assumption is that it is not set as dynamic.

This is the net work guide....
