    Reach the device

    Each device has a serial number:

    • cy-vp4-14-35
    • cy-rcp-18-4
    • cy-rio-15-151
    • cy-nio-22-63

    Let's take cy-rcp-18-4 the format means:

    • cy-rcp is the device type, here a rcp
    • 18 is the device batch ID (production)
    • 4 is the unique number in this batch

    You need the full serial cy-rcp-18-4 to identify completely a device.

    Based on that, you can now reach your device by following this guide.

    All the configuration is done in a web UI, no need to install any software.

    Update your kit

    It is not mandatory, but a good starting point to update all your devices to the latest version.

    You can follow this guide

    Setup IP

    Each device comes with a factory IP (10.192.X.Y/16).

    You can add your own IP's to:

    • match your company LAN.
    • match your gear network (cam, switcher, etc.)

    NOTE

    The default IP (factory) is always there and can't be changed. You can add as much IP as you want.

    If you need a physical network, you can use USB-ethernet dongles (NDI, dante networks for example).
