14.5 Establish a network configuration when no DHCP is available – Step by step
1. Set a laptops Ethernet adapter to DHCP
2. Turn off all other network adapters (Wi-Fi)
3. Connect to the same network as the AP-2010 (use a common Ethernet cable to connect your
device directly with the AP-2010)
4. Start local SES-imagotag Core Service on laptop
5. Use the SES-imagotag Control Center to connect to your local SES-imagotag Core Service
6. Under System – Access Point Status – the AP should be listed as discovered (after successful
boot sequence – may take up to 2 minutes)
l Press F5 on your keyboard or the refresh button in the ESL client to refresh the access
point status (the Client doesn’t refresh the status automatically!)
7. One Column of the AP should now show the IP address
8. Open a browser, type in http://<discovered-ip>:8080 or
l at the SES-imagotag Control Center perform a right click on the discovered access
point – Open in browser – Maintenance – Status
Note: Restart your access point if discovering process takes more than 2 minutes.

14.6 Access point discovering with Bonjour Services
You still got problems to find your ESL access point in your network? There's another workaround:
You can use Apple's "Bonjour Print Services".
Download and install “Bonjour Print Services“for Windows (pre-installed under OSX):
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
Note: After installation there’s no reboot required.
If the access point is connected directly to the system where the “Bonjour Service” is installed (or on a
network with running “Bonjour Service”) you can find the access point by typing the following in the
browser of your choice:
http://ap-<ID>.local:8080 (e.g. http://ap-12724.local:8080)
Note: You can reach older versions of the AP with http://imagotag-ap.local:8080 (custom hostnames
are only available on newer versions of the access point)
14.7 What can I do if the Status LED of the AP-2010 access point doesn’t turn blue?
l Check the access point status
l Check the access point configuration
o
No channel set
l Check network reachability of the access point
