To set a fix IP address for the embedded SmartConnect network port you must allocate an IP address to the UPS mac address or reserve an IP for the mac address via your router/DHCP server. See the router user's guide or contact your network administrator for assistance.

The mac address is the product UPS ID number. It will be found on the QR code sticker of the UPS.
