# Access network IP address and Admin panel

You can get the network IP address of your Pearl Nano from the front screen menu. With the device IP address, you can access the Admin panel to do things like configure the Pearl Nano, start/stop recording, and more. Make sure that your admin computer is connected to the same network as Pearl Nano and that the network uses DHCP.

If your network requires you to assign the Pearl Nano a static IP address instead of using DHCP to obtain one, contact your network administrator and provide them with the IP address and MAC address of your Pearl Nano; otherwise, contact Epiphan Video support for assistance.

**Obtain the IP address of the Pearl Nano and access the Admin panel**

- Press the **left arrow** on the interface until the **System status** screen appears.

- Using a browser on the admin computer, enter the URL for your Pearl Nano and include **/admin** to access the Admin panel.

http://*<**IP Address for Pearl Nano**>*/admin

**For example:** http://192.1.10.100/admin

- When prompted, log in using the default user name **admin** and the administrator account password. If you don't know the password, contact your Pearl Nano administrator.

For a first-time set up, you're prompted to assign passwords to the **admin**, **operator**, and **viewer** accounts. Record the passwords for future reference.

- (Optional) Open a new tab in your browser and enter the URL to preview a channel.

 http://*<**IP Address for Pearl Nano**>*/preview.cgi?channel=1

**For example:** http://192.1.10.100/preview.cgi?channel=1
