      How to find the Q.core's IP address

      If you do not know the IP address of your Q.core, there are a couple of options to find the IP address of your Q.core. Make sure the Q.core is powered on and connected to the network.

      • In GI.bench click Read to scan the network for connected controllers. You should find the Q.core in the overview. Please note that you cannot connect to the Q.core here, it is only to find the Q.core's IP address and other details like serial number and firmware version.Qcore1
      • If you cannot find your Q.core with GI.bench, start GI.monitor from the GI.service UI menu in the system tray (Tools > GI.monitor). Click Search and select the IPv6 Multicast tab to get an overview of controllers that are available on your network.
