Once power is applied to the Cortex 360, the unit takes about 50 seconds to boot-up
and be ready. During this period, the front panel display will be blank most of the
time, but “DAVICOM” will appear about 40 seconds in, and then the display will go
blank again. The unit is ready once the “ACTIVITY” heartbeat light starts blinking.
Connecting to the unit by IP using Google Chrome
Connect the Cortex 360 to your computer using an Ethernet cable and any of the 4
Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the unit. The Cortex 360 factory-default IP
address is 192.168.1.210, but if this address is not within the address range of your
network or computer, you can change the IP address so the unit can be seen by your
computer. To do this, use the menu buttons to find the IP address on the OLED
screen and select it by using the right menu button. You can then choose either a v4
or v6 IP address and change it so it can be seen by your computer. You can use one
of the browsers listed below, but note that compatibility may vary over time as new
updates are released for these browsers. Always see the “About” section in the
Cortex 360 menu to get the most current compatibility listing, or contact the
Davicom technical support.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0+
- Google Chrome 26+
- Mozilla Firefox 20+
- Opera 15+
- Apple Safari 5.0+
- iOS 6.0+
For the purpose of this guide, and because it is by far the most popular browser, we
will explain the connection process using Google Chrome only.
