There is no software needed for that.  You can do a network reset of the controller.  You can use google to find the instructions or follow this:


To reset the controller network settings to the default, follow these steps:
1 Disconnect power to the controller.
2 While pressing and holding the ID button on the back of the controller,
power on the controller.
3 Hold the ID button until the Data, Link and Power LEDs are solid blue, then
immediately release the button.
4 If during the boot sequence the Caution LED stays orange, press and hold
the ID button until the LED blinks blue, and then release it.

You might want to use some software to monitor your network and see what devices are on it.  Windows software that I like is wakemeonlan.  You might want to try that.  Fing is another useful software - you can also use Fing from your phone.

These applications will show you all of the devices on your LAN and they often will tell you who the manufacturer is - that way you can figure out what IP address is with your controller.

Once you do this you might want to give it a static IP address or make a DHCP reservation so that the address stays constant in the future.
