Forgotten your admin credentials? The tool includes a "Forgot Password" workflow that generates a security code to help you reset your access safely.

The software consolidates network management and device deployment into a single, light-weight Windows application.

Toggle from DHCP/BootP to Static IP if your industrial network requires fixed addressing. Input the designated IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.

Click on the or Discover Devices button from the main ribbon interface.

Go to to input the unique Equipment ID and site name.

Industrial configurations contain sensitive network topology data. Store backups in encrypted folders with restricted user access.

Suppose you need to adjust a memory controller timing. Instead of recompiling firmware, use the tool to override it:

If connecting via USB, verify that the specific IH USB drivers are installed in the Device Manager. Conclusion

Before launching the tool, ensure your management computer is on the same physical network or Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) as the target devices.

Monitor real-time values to identify noise or signal drops.

Open the IH Config Tool with administrator privileges to ensure it has full network adapter access. Click the or Refresh button.

Unstable network connection, poor quality ethernet cabling, or an incorrect firmware file version.

To begin using the tool, the first step is ensuring your workstation is on the same subnet as your hardware. Once launched, the "Scan" or "Search" function will broadcast a signal to identify compatible devices. Even if a device is on a different IP range initially, most versions of the tool can identify the hardware via MAC address, allowing you to assign a compatible static IP or enable DHCP. This feature alone saves immense time during the initial commissioning phase of a project.
