===How to Connect===
====DHCP====
The VALT Smart Button 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 SmartButton.
====Static====
If no DHCP server is available the VALT Smart Button will default to a static IP address of 192.168.0.91.
====Manual====

The IP address can be received from the smart button 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, the SmartButton must be connected to by using the ivsadmin user credentials. The ivsuser account can not change any settings. If connecting from the console, type the following to change accounts. There will be a prompt 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.
