====DHCP====
The Valt Keypad will automatically pull an IP address from DHCP. The IP address can be obtained by reviewing your DHCP leases on your DHCP server. The hostname of the device is Keypad.
====Static====
If no DHCP server is available the Valt Keypad will default to a static IP address of 192.168.0.92.
====Manual====
You can retrieve the IP address from the keypad directly by plugging in a keyboard and running the following command from the console:
<pre>ifconfig | more</pre>

The ip address will be listed under interface eth0.

===Manually Setting an IP Address===
In order to set the ip address manually you must be connected to the Keypad using the ivsadmin user. The ivsuser account can not change any settings. If you are connecting from the console, type the following to change accounts. You will be prompted for the ivsadmin password. <pre>su ivsadmin</pre>
# Type the following and press enter <pre>sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf</pre>
# Scroll down until you find the section for interface eth0.
# Remove the # at the start of the lines for static ip_address, static routers, and static domain_name_servers.
# Update the ip configuration to reflect the correct settings for your environment.
