# Interface Settings

Description

After login into the nnounce configuration UI, establish a connection between your new ionode4 device and your network. Configure the LAN A and LAN B ports in the *Interfaces* section.

Choose between *manual* and *auto mode* setting:

- **Manual** - user enters IP Address, Net Mask and default Gateway.
- **Auto** - a DHCP server is required to automatically obtain network settings.
- **Off** mode turns off the port

**IMPORTANT**: You will need the device's IP address, MAC address from your device, see [Connect the device](/nnounce/docs/connect-device-ionode4).

**Note**: Navigate backwards or cancel your steps with the *Back* function in your browser.
