How can a Web Thermometer having an unknown IP address be assigned a new one?

The simplest and invariably effective method is to assign a new IP address via the serial port with the aid of a terminal program. This method overwrites the existing setting, i.e. it is completely independent of the current setting of the Web Thermometer.

A second method is to reset the Web thermometer to its factory default settings with the aid of the serial interface. If, during the boot procedure, the Web thermometer receives a continuous data stream (data format 9600, n, 8) having the content "f" (= ASCII 102), the procedure is started for resetting the device to the factory default settings. For this purpose, it is necessary to connect a network cable or else the device will not restart fully. The Web thermometer twice acknowledges the receipt of the sequence and the initiation of the process by repeatedly flashing the "On error http" and "System error" LED. After approx. 20 seconds, the procedure is completed. All network settings also are lost in the process. Reassign the IP address.
