3 Connecting your MeteoBridge to your LAN
For initial configuration you need to connect the MeteoBridge directly to your LAN
router.
Connect the MeteoBridge via Ethernet to a spare port on your router and plug in the
AC adapter.
Your router will automatically assign an IP address to the MeteoBridge. The next
step is to identify this IP number. To help with this make a note of your MeteoBridge
MAC address, located on the side of the device.
NOTE: The MAC address may be displayed in a number of formats,
e.g. E8DE2769AEC0
E8:DE:27:69:AE:C0
e8-de-27-69-ae-c0
