 Emergency IP:

InfoIf the VCP can't obtain a local IP through DHCP, the VCP activates its Emergency IP. The Emergency IP is a unique IP assigned to that particular VCP and is printed on the VCP's sticker or is displayed in the CHeKT Dealer Portal.

InfoYou can connect to that Emergency IP locally from a computer on the appropriate network and access the VCP's local configuration interface.




  1. With DHCP and Portal Communications unavailable, this function will go active
  2. Navigate to the listed IP locally to configure network settings and assign the Bridge an internet capable IP address.
WarningYou will have to Sub IP your computer to the same IP Range as the Emergency IP address so that you can access it in the web browser. Information on how can be found here: How To Static IP/Subnet a Windows PC
