Power the ZA 3500

• When using ethernet as a network use the power over ethernet to power the ZA 3500. Make sure you have 802.3af POE.

Connect the ZA 3500 to the internet Via dedicated Wi-Fi network:

The downside of using Wi-Fi is that your computer will now be disconnected from the internet.

2. To find out the IP address: Look up in your local network router list of connected devices, if you have access.
3. First use the Wi-Fi method to login into the admin web interface, and then note the Ethernet IP address. (In the Network tab, ethernet with DHCP must be enabled there).
