5. You may now connect to your designated Wi-Fi network.

Ethernet or Power over Ethernet Connection

Follow installation instructions to wire IoTBuddy to desired Modbus or analog device.

1. For static IP addressing, connect RJ45 Ethernet plug to the IoTBuddy and directly to your computer. Press the bu9on on the IoTBuddy once. Using a web browser, go to https://3.2.1.1; it may take a few seconds before this address is accessible. You may then set up your desired static
   IP address using the web interface (see step 5).
   Note: If a static IP address has already been assigned, the above process will not work.
   The designated IP address can be easily retrieved Senva Sync app.
   For DHCP , connect RJ45 Ethernet plug to IoTBuddy and to your network. Determine your automatically assigned IP address and enter it into your web browser using “https://”.
   Note: The assigned IP address can be easily retrieved Senva Sync app.
   Your browser may indicate a non-private connection. Click “Advanced” and then “Proceed to xx.xx.x.xxx (unsafe).” Once signed in, you will be able to update security se6ngs to enhance privacy.

2. Your browser may indicate a non-private connection. Click “Advanced” and then “Proceed to xx.xx.x.xxx (unsafe).”
