Running the ThinPrint Hub Finder
Running the ThinPrint Hub Finder
- Run the Hub Finder on a Windows machine. All the ThinPrint Hubs located in the same subnet will be displayed – here 192.168.149.0. For searching in another subnet (additionally) enable the Use Range Scan option, enter an IP address range – here 192.168.146.1 to 192.168.146.250 – and then click on Start search.
- Select the URL of the relevant ThinPrint Hub (see the ThinPrint Hub URL column in the screenshot before). The configuration page opens in a web browser. If you are uncertain about the device selection, you can use the Identify option; which will identify the corresponding Hub and cause the green LED on its front panel to blink for three seconds.
LEDs on the front cover of the Hub:
red = power is on
green = identifies the device

| Name | • the Hub’s hostname • a change doesn’t affect the DHCP setting (see IPv4 Settings) |
