Flowire Converter Configuration Manual

B: 

Advanced Configuration

IP addresses on a Flowire device can be set either by setting a static IP address or having one 

assigned from a temporary DHCP server. The Flowire device has, by default, DHCP enabled on one 

of their networking interfaces. The DHCP can be disabled as described in section “B.2 Disabling 

DHCP”.

B.1  Setting a Static IP Address

By default, all Flowire devices have 

169.254.1.10

 as a static IP address. 

In order to set a new static IP address:

1.  Isolate the Flowire device by disconnecting the line to other devices.

2.  Access the web interface of the Flowire device via the default address 169.254.1.10. 
3.  Enter the new IP address in CIDR notation, e.g. 10.5.202.80/24 in the 

Flowire static IP

 field

4.  Click 

Set static IP

The device will now reboot with the new static IP address.
