Configuring the Bridge

This section details the steps needed to set a network connection for the ZB200 Bridge using the Zebra Setup Utility App for Electronic Temperature Sensors for Android (ZBSetup).
The ZB200 Bridge is set up for DHCP via Ethernet by default, therefore the following steps are only necessary if you are changing to a Static IP address or Wi-Fi.
  1. Download the Zebra Setup Utility App for Electronic Temperature Sensors for Android (ZBSetup) from the Google Play store on your mobile device.
  2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and then click
