Using the Moku API to connect to and configure your Moku is straightforward and well documented on our API documentation site (https://apis.liquidinstruments.com). Typically, users will opt to use the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the Moku to point to the device to connect to in the script. 

## This is an example of connecting to Moku using the IPv4 address. 

from moku.instruments import FIRFilterBox

i=FIRFilterBox('192.168.xx.xx', force_connect=True)

In some network configurations, this IP address can change periodically. When the IP changes, you must manually reenter the new IP of your Moku into your script to avoid receiving connection errors. One way to avoid this is to use the Moku serial number, rather than the IPv4 or IPv6 address. The Moku serial number is static and therefore won't change which allows your script to run without worrying about IP changes. 

## This is an example of connecting to Moku using the serial number. 

from moku.instruments import FIRFilterBox

i=FIRFilterBox('mokupro-000xxx.local', force_connect=True)

We recommend using the serial number instead of the IP address to avoid running into connection issues while using Moku API. To find your Moku's serial number, simply type mokucli list into the command line and a list of all available Mokus on the network will be displayed with their serial numbers, hardware versions, firmware versions, and IP addresses.

Alternatively, you can right click on the device icon in the Moku App and navigate down to “Device Info”.
