How to recover AlbaCombi:

Connect the unit to your computer and confirm the ip configuration is correct. You can check in cmd in windows:

Press Windows+R to open “Run” box. Type “cmd” and then click “OK” to open a regular Command Prompt.

Type “ipconfig” and press Intro. Verify your network is working at gateway 192.168.0.1

1) Get inside in Firefox browser in the URL (IP Address): 192.168.0.50
