# Connect the Device

The micnode2 device utilizes power over Ethernet, combining power supply and communication. Therefore, begin by connecting the device to your network with a LAN cable and then proceed to establish the network connection. Access the nnounce configuration UI to define the LAN setup. If you are incorporating the micnode2 station within a Q-SYS installation, you will perform further steps in the Q-SYS designer and download the micnode2 plugin. This configuration is auto populated to the nnounce ecosystem and micnode2 station and vice-versa. To complete your configuration, set up streams and define the external application or UCI you will use for paging from the station, or you can use the built-in paging dashboard.

Description

Connect your micnode2 device to your network with a data communication cable CAT5 with a RJ45 connector. The network switch port needs to conform to IEEE 802.3af standards as the device uses power over ethernet.

**CAUTION**: The device uses power over ethernet (PoE) and requires a network switch port complying with IEEE802.3f standards.

> [!NOTE]
> TIP!
> 
> Use the nnounce Discovery tool to automatically detect your nnounce device using network service discovery.
> 
> Find the tool in the nnounce Download center - [https://www.nnounce.com/download-center](https://www.nnounce.com/download-center)

**NOTE**: Use the LAN B port for a secondary connection if required.

1. Connect the device with the LAN A port. **NOTE**: Ensure that the locking tab on the plug of the cable snaps into the RJ45 connector of the device rear panel
2. Connect the device to the network, with DHCP enabled.
3. Use a computer with an Internet browser and search for your micnode2 device by typing into the computer URL https://micnode2g- and the last 6 digits of the MAC address of your device, which you can find on the product sticker of your device.
  - Example: https://micnode2g-000000 or [https://micnode2g-00000.local](https://micnode2g-00000.local)

  - **IMPORTANT**: Instead of *000000* enter the last 6 digits of the MAC address which you can find on you micnode2 device.
  - **NOTE**: The device is using mDNS.
4. Your web-browser shows the login page of your **micnode2 device**.
5. **Follow the** [**first login wizard**](/nnounce/docs/users) **to set the password for your device's admin user account:**

Create your first admin account and then **enter these credentials to log in to your device’s nnounce configuration user interface.**

Now you are able to access the configuration settings of the device and continue with interface configuration.
