How to set a static IP to a Joan device

All Joan devices by default have dynamic IP addresses. However, if the network you are attempting to connect your Joan device to has certain requirements or you simply wish to have the same IP address assigned to your Joan device and speed up the connection process, you are able to set a static IP for your Joan devices.

All network configurations for Joan devices are done via the Joan Configurator. If you have not downloaded it yet, please click here to do so.
