Your HDA device will be supplied with the latest stable software version already installed. To access the latest features or maintain your system, it is recommended that you perform periodic updates to the OS. This process must be done manually as we do not push updates to systems automatically. Ensure that your system has access to a good internet connection and that power to your HDA device is stable during the process.
Once you have typed in your IP address, press “Continue”.

Using other methods to find your device
Network scanner
You can also use an mDNS network scanner to find your devices IP address. There are many network scanners to choose from, we recommend using Advanced IP Scanner as it is efficient and free.
Unable to see device on your network?
If your HDA device is not appearing in a network scan please try the following:
Ensure your device is LAN (Local Area Network) connected.
Check the lights either side of the network port, (green and orange) they should be static and not flashing.
Ensure your HDA device is on the same network as the mobile device you’re trying to connect with.
Make sure your router is working properly, and has no closed ports.
If you see a HDANYWHERE or third party device marked with “uControl inside” then it contains our control system inside it. You can find out what it can do by visiting uControl’s website here.
Comparing AV and Full versions of uControl inside
Some devices are marked “AV” where others are “Full”. This is determined by the operating system found on the device. The “full” implementation of uControl can be found in devices which have uControl OS (uOS) inside. “AV” means that the system is running MHUB-OS (MOS) and control capability is restricted to AV only or the devices that are directly connected to the MHUB system.
