===How to Connect===
====DHCP====
The Valt Room Schedule Display 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 ScheduleDisplay.

====Manual====
You can retrieve the IP address from the smart button directly by plugging in a keyboard and running the following command from the console:
'''ifconfig | more'''

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 device using the ivsadmin user. The ivsuser account can not change any settings. If you are connecting from the console, type '''su ivsadmin''' to change accounts. You will be prompted for the ivsadmin password.
# Type ''' sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf''' and press enter
# 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.

# Comment out the remaining lines in the file by adding a # to the start of the line.
