 Wiznet has written their most recent coniguration software in Python so it should theoritically run on the Mac as is. I was unable to get the GUI version of their app to run here due to errors when trying to install the QT libraries which are needed to give a python app a regular user interface. You may have better luck and if you wish I encourage you to [[https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/S2E-Module/WIZ750SR/configuration-tool-manual-new-EN|try it]] and let me know if you can succeed where I failed.  The also support a command line version of the tool which runs just fine, but it slightly more complicated to use. I am documenting the process here to make it easier, but this tutorial does assume you have a certain amount of comfort at the command line in MacOS. Wiznet has written their most recent coniguration software in Python so it should theoritically run on the Mac as is.

 +While this should work with any of the WIZ75xxx series devices, the two I have tested are pictured above and are the WIZ750SR-110 for the single port version and the WIZ752SR-125 for the dual port version. See the purchasing section at the very bottom for links to possible places to purchase from.

 **ATMODE** if you have the single port version there is a switch on it labeled “hw-trg” if this is turned on then the port has booted into the mode where you can issue commands via the serial port. If this is on you can connect a serial adaptor to the serial port on the device and do a factory reset by writing to it the Factory Reset command which is “FR” with a carriage return and line feed. I find the easiest way to do this is with the serial console that is part of the Arduino IDE as  you can set the line ending to be both ln and cr and then just type FR<return> I just had to do this to one of them that I had set a search string for and then couldn’t figure out that they didn’t show in a search after that. So this is good to know about if something goes horribly wrong and they aren’t showing up on a network scan. This setting is also shown in the scan output. A functional device should show “open” as in the search portion above. If the device has booted into ATMODE it will show ATMODE instead. To reset turn the switch off and reboot. **ATMODE** if you have the single port version there is a switch on it labeled “hw-trg” if this is turned on then the port has booted into the mode where you can issue commands via the serial port.

 +====Purchasing:====
 +
 +You can order these cards directly from the manufacturer, but the shipping from overseas is prohibitively expensive. I would recommend ordering them from Mouser or Digikey and you can find exactly the one  you want but with more reasonable shipping charges and a much faster delivery time. 
 +
 +The single port version: **WIZ750SR-110**
 +
 +[[https://mou.sr/3Mjak4m|WIZ750SR-110 from Mouser]]\\
 +[[https://www.digikey.com/short/3qrnt2vp|WIZ750SR-110 from Digikey]]
 +
 +The dual port version: **WIZ752SR-125**
 +
 +[[https://mou.sr/3siDYQ6|WIZ752SR-125 from Mouser]]\\
 +[[https://www.digikey.com/short/ptfw1qzj|WIZ752SR-125 from Digikey]]
 +
 +Believe it or not I do not see these for sale on Amazon. And no, those are affiliate links of any kind. As of this writing Mouser is slightly cheaper that Digikey but that floats around. Check the prices and compare shipping. They are both reliable and reputable companies to order from.
