How to find Cerbo GX IP address ?

A new and unmodified Cerbo GX runs in my local network 10.10.20.xxx. Registration to the VRM portal was immediately successful why I assume, the Cerbo received a local IP by DHCP from the 10.10.20.xxx range what can be routed out to the portal.


Unfortunately, I cannot find the Cerbo in the DHCP Server leases list of my Mikrotic router. Is DHCP active by default or any special IP adress or host name ?

Is the VRM portal ID equal to the Cerbo MAC address?

Is it possible to see the Cerbo address in the VRM portal or on the local touch screen ?

Is there a http server active, Pings work or only SSH login possible ?

Just connect to it via bluetooth, it will show it's IP.

Or look on VRM under device list.

or connect to venus.local

All in the manual..

Just read the manual. No need to use an IP scanner.

Found ! The reason for failure was, that my Mikrotic router reported a Active Host Name "einstein" while your scanner shows. "venus" what is more suspicious. Both tools cannot derive the manufacturers name from MAC. Ping responses, behind runs a ngix and I hope to log in by SSH soon. My touch screen needs some calibration.
