Default AeroPad Mini Fixed IP Address

By default, the AeroPad Mini is set to a Fixed IP address. The default IP Address is "192.168.1.50" (Subnet Mask "255.255.255.0", and Gateway "0.0.0.0"). For most home users, there is no need to change its value.

Changing AeroPad Mini's Fixed IP Address

But you may wish to change the default fixed IP Address of AeroPad Mini for the following reasons:

•Your local wireless network is in an IP domain other than "192.168.1.x" (x being any number from 1 to 255). If your local wireless network has an IP domain of "192.168.2.x" or "10.0.1.x", you may wish to change the default IP Address of AeroPad Mini to "192.168.2.50" or "10.0.1.50", respectively, so you can have access to the web-config pages of AeroPad Mini from your computer while your wireless network is active.

•Your local wireless network already has "192.168.1.50" assigned to an important resource, and you require AeroPad Mini to use another Fixed IP.

Obtain AeroPad Mini IP Address Automatically

The AeroPad Mini can also be set to obtain an IP Address from your access point (or a DHCP server) automatically. This setting is not recommended usually, as you will not be able to know the IP Address of the AeroPad Mini easily, and you will have no way of getting back to its web-config pages. But this setting may be desirable if you have multiple AeroPad Minis to manage (e.g. in a lab or classroom where multiple computers are each using an AeroPad Mini) and you prefer to let a centralized DHCP server to assign IPs, and you can refer to the DHCP Client List in the DHCP server to find out the IP of each AeroPad Minis.
