The wireless management interface can operate in two modes: | The wireless management interface can operate in two modes: | ||
* Manage own network: In this mode (default), the Allegro will setup its own Access Point so you can connect a laptop or smartphone directly to the device and access the management interface.

* Join existing network: In this mode, the Allegro Network Multimeter will connect to an existing Wi-Fi network. To do so, enter the name (SSID) of the network and the password. The Wi-Fi Access Point or controller should list the IP it has assigned to the Allegro Network Multimeter. | * Join existing network: In this mode, the Allegro Network Multimeter will connect to an existing Wi-Fi network.

* Manage own network: In this mode, the Allegro will run a DHCP server on the management port, enabling you to connect another computer via a cable to the system. Be aware that in this mode, the management port should not be connected to the main network, since running multiple DHCP servers will disturb the network.

* Use static IP: It is also possible to configure a fixed IP address for the wired management port. You can enter any IP address for the port. The IP address 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 address of your gateway computer and the IP address of the DNS server. You can leave them empty if you want to directly connect the device to another computer with no Router involved. In this mode, the web interface can be reached by the static IP address you configured. | * Use static IP: It is also possible to configure a fixed IP address for the wired management port.
