Network connection and IP address
Finding the Monarch HDX’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 HDX’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 HDX.
• Use the Monarch HDX Utils application to view all connected Monarch
HDXs and their IP addresses.
Displaying the IP address on an HDMI monitor
The Monarch HDX’s IP address is displayed on a connected HDMI monitor at
device bootup:
1 Connect the Monarch HDX to an HDMI monitor.
2 Power up the Monarch HDX.
When the Monarch HDX boots up, the IP address appears on the screen for
approximately 30 seconds before being replaced by the passthrough signal.
Saving the IP address and status to USB
You can save a file containing the Monarch HDX’s IP address and current status
to a USB device, making this information easily accessible.
1 Insert a formatted USB device into the USB port 2 (see “USB ports 1 and 2”
on page 7).
2 Reboot your Monarch HDX. It is complete once the Warning ( ) LED
stops flashing (see “Device reboot” on page 12).
The Monarch HDX 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 “Finding the
Monarch HDX’s current IP address” on page 17), or if you need to share status
information for your unit.
Finding the IP address with Monarch HDX Utils
The Monarch HDX Utils application will indicate the IP addresses of the
Monarch devices in your network. See “Connecting to a network with a DHCP
server (DHCP IP mode)” for details.
Connecting to a network with a DHCP server
(DHCP IP mode)
When connecting to a network with a DHCP server, such as through a router, the
Monarch HDX 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
