* Join existing network: In this mode, the Allegro Network Multimeter will connect to your existing WiFi network. To do so, enter the name (SSID) of the network and the password. Your WiFi access point should list the IP it assigns to the Allegro Network Multimeter. | * Join existing network: In this mode, the Allegro Network Multimeter will connect to your existing WiFi network.

If so, the device can only be accessed by using the IP address 192.168.4.1. If this option is disabled, the name server running on the device will also resolve the name '''allegro/''' to make it easier to access to the device. This option is useful if there is still another connection active which should still be used, like a mobile connection or the internal company network. | ||

* Manage own network: In this mode, the device will run a DHCP server on the management port so that you can connect another computer via a wire to the system. Be aware that the network port should not be connected to your main network as running multiple DHCP servers will very probably disturb the network.

* Use static IP: It is also possible to configure a fixed IP for the wired management port. You can enter any IP for the port. The IP must end with a slash followed by the subnet size. Example: /24 stands for a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Optionally you can enter the IP of your gateway computer and the IP of the DNS server. You can leave them empty if you want directly connect the device to another computer with no router involved. In this mode, the web interface can be reached by the static IP you have configured. | * Use static IP: It is also possible to configure a fixed IP for the wired management port.

By default, the host name is in the format | By default, the host name is in the format '''allegro-mm-xxxx''' where the last four characters depend on the actual device. Because of this multiple multimeters can be used in the same network. | ||
It is however possible to choose an own host name. Enter a new name and save the changes. If the name field is empty, the default name will be used again after the next reboot. | It is however possible to choose an own host name. Enter a new name and save the changes.
