    192.168.0.226 (do not use this number – use the actual IP address shown on your EMAGINE)

    Key in all the numbers including the full stops (no spaces between) as shown on your EMAGINE. If you have more than one EMAGINE unit at home, each EMAGINE unit would have a different IP Address.

    After you have keyed in the details for “Name your EMAGINE” and “IP Address”, press OK.
