Open the app
To open the program press the Windows key on your keyboard and begin searching for “SmartTransfer” until you find it in the list.
Click on the icon to open it.
Set the default gateway on latest versions
Select your default gateway in the dropdown box in the help section to match the first three sections of your console IP address. In this example the console has an Ip address of 192.168.200.102 so we need to select a default gateway of 192.168.200 in the Smartransfer default gateway dropdown box.
The console ip address can be found either in the Wi-Fi application or the main
Pro application
Set the default gateway on version 2.0.1.6 and earlier only
To set your Default gateway in Smart Transfer, enter the first three sections of numbers from the console IP address without a full stop at the end.
This is accessed through the (?) button in the top right corner of Smart Transfer. The IP address of the console can be found in the CAD/CAM app.
See the example below
Scan for SmartBenches
When you have setup the default gateway, and you scan - When the application has finished scanning, it will show you all the SmartBenches it has found.
