If you are using DHCP to assign an IP address to your SmartServer, and your network includes a local DNS server, enter the following address in your web browser.Use one of the following methods to find your SmartServer address:
PUTTY FOR MAC SERIAL CONSOLE INSTALL
The host name begins with smartserver- and ends with the install code. Each SmartServer ships with a unique host name marked on the product label located on the back of the SmartServer.

By default, the SmartServer uses DHCP to assign its IP address, but it will fall back to a known static address. To maintain a stable IP address, change the IP address setting in the SmartServer Network Configuration web page (see Configure Your SmartServer) so that only DHCP or static IP address is used. The SmartServer supports both DHCP and static IP addresses. The SmartServer can also use the network connection to provide LON remote network interface (RNI) services to a remote IzoT Net Server, LON Protocol Analyzer, or other compatible tools and applications. The SmartServer can use the network connection to communicate with IP-enabled devices and routers, such as BACnet/IP, ModBus TCP, LON IP-852, or LON IP-70 devices and routers. To connect to the LAN (ETH0) or WAN (ETH1) interface c onnect one end of a Category 5, 5e, or Category 6 Ethernet cable to the LAN (ETH0) or WAN (ETH1) connector, and connect the other end to an Ethernet switch or hub for the network to be connected, or connect directly to your computer. The SmartServer will then automatically adjust to the polarity and speed of the data port, and will illuminate the LAN or WAN LED indicator on the front panel of the SmartServer indicating that a connection has been made. If you only have one network, just connect the LAN (ETH0) interface. You will see communication failures if you connect both interfaces to the same network. The LAN interface is typically used for a local network, and the WAN interface is typically used to communicate with a modem or router that interfaces with a wide area network. Two Ethernet interfaces are available so that you can connect to two different networks. You can use either interface or both of them, but don't connect both to the same network. The SmartServer has two Ethernet interfaces labeled LAN (ETH0) and WAN (ETH1), shown in the following figure. To communicate with the SmartServer using a LAN or WAN interface, connect it to an Ethernet switch or hub that can communicate with your client IP devices and services. To use the USB console interface, see Connecting to the Console using a USB Serial Connection. You can communicate with your SmartServer using a LAN or WAN interface, and you can communicate with your SmartServer using a USB console interfade.
