Utilivista Entranet - Getting Started (1)
• Connect the Entranet USB power adapter to the mains, and plug the USB cable into the Entranet.
The settings for IP networking can be changed, but the Entranet must first be accessed using its default IP address.
To add to a LAN which allows a new device with static IP address 192.168.1.130
• Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable into a switch or router.
To connect directly to a computer (e.g. to change the IP address to suit your LAN)
• Ensure your computer is not connected to any other LAN, either wirelessly or through an Ethernet cable.
• Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable into your computer’s Ethernet port.
• In the TCP / IP settings of the LAN connection for your computer, Set the IP address manually within the range 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.254, (but do not use 192.168.1.130), and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Utilivista Entranet - Front Page
The time is synchronized using the internet when the Entranet boots up, if an internet connection is available and the default Gateway is set correctly in ‘Network Settings’. An icon here allows time and date to be manually set, if the setting in ‘Administration’ for always using NTP to set time is ‘No’.
You can hover the mouse pointer over Question Mark icons to see more information.

Utilivista Entranet - Network Settings
Once this setting is saved as ‘Yes’, new nodes can be put into learn mode using a magnet, and will then appear in the left menu when the node list is refreshed.
If IP addressing mode is changed to DHCP, you will need to use your router’s admin pages to find out the IP address for the Entranet to then access these pages again.
If Static Addressing is used, make sure the Default Gateway and DNS Server are set correctly (often this should be the IP address of the router) to allow internet access.
