Introduction
To access your MANUS Quantum Bodypack remotely over the network, you will need to know its 'Hostname' and 'IP address'.
Using Windows Command Prompt Locally
You can use the Windows Command Prompt to retrieve your Bodypack hostname and IP address.
Connect your Bodypack to a display, mouse and keyboard, and log in using the login information.
Open the Command Prompt through the Windows Start Menu search bar by typing "cmd":
