NetDiscover - a super useful cli tool for finding the IP of disperate devices.

sudo netdiscover -f -i < interface name >

Essentially, just connect the device directly to your machine, then power it up.

Run the command above, replacing < interface name > with the actual name of the interface on yoru machine.

For example:

sudo netdiscover -f -i eth0

Now watch for anthing returned on your screen, and assuming you only have the 1 device connected, anything that shows up should be that device.
