If you don't know the IP-adress of the ACAM system:

The used ACAM IP-adress is listed in the Registry folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ACOUSTICON\ACAM\System

Under 'IP' you find the adress of the ACAM system (see screenshot below)

The Default IP of the ACAM is 192.168.0.XXX, while XXX is different for every ACAM system. This number is engraved on the handhold of the processor unit module. The subnetmask is setted to 255.255.255.0

ACAM is also equipped with a serial interface. With this interface you can gather several informations about the system status, and also the current IP adress.
