Network connection and IP address
Finding the Monarch HD’s current IP address
You must know your Monarch device’s IP address to access the Command
Center. There are three ways to find the Monarch HD’s current IP address:
• You can see it displayed on an HDMI monitor at device boot up.
• You can have it automatically saved to a connected USB device when
rebooting the Monarch HD.
• Use the Monarch HD Utils application to view all connected Monarch HDs
and their IP addresses.
Displaying the IP address on an HDMI monitor
The Monarch HD’s IP address is displayed on a connected HDMI monitor at
device boot up:
1 Connect the Monarch HD to an HDMI monitor.
2 Power up the Monarch HD.
When the Monarch HD boots up, the IP address appears on the screen for
approximately 30 seconds before being replaced by the input signal.
Saving the IP address and status to USB
You can save a file containing the Monarch HD’s IP address and current status to
a USB device, making this information easily accessible (see “Status page” on
page 28).
1 Insert a formatted USB device into the USB port 2 (see “USB ports 1 and 2”
on page 7).
2 Reboot your Monarch HD. It is complete once the Warning ( ) LED stops
flashing (see “Device reboot” on page 12).
The Monarch HD IP address and status information are now saved to a text file
on the USB device.
This file can be helpful if you do not have an HDMI monitor (see ), or if you need
to share status information for your unit.
Finding the IP address with Monarch HD Utils
The Monarch HD Utils application will indicate the IP addresses of the Monarch
devices in your network. See “Connecting to a network with a DHCP server

When connecting to a network with a DHCP server, such as through a router, the
Monarch HD IP address is assigned by the DHCP server. Although other
methods exist for obtaining the IP address of a device on a DHCP server, such as
