Management interface settings: Difference between revisions

For wired connection there are three operation modes:

* Join existing network: Similar to the wireless connection, in this mode the device gets an IP from the network connected to the management port. The router or DHCP server in your network should list the IP of the Allegro Network Multimeter.

* 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. In this mode, the web interface can be accessed by entering the URL '''https://allegro/''' into your web browser.

* 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.
