title: Configure the IP address
description: All AltoReach devices default to a static IP of 192.168.0.1. You should change the IP address before establishing a link, to ensure that you access the correct radio during maintenance activities. Radios can be configured to use an alternative static IP address, or configured to be DHCP clients and have their IP address assigned by an upstream DHCP server.

# Configure the IP address
