# Interfaces

> [!NOTE]
> Description
> 
> Configure the LAN A and LAN B ports in the *Interfaces* section. Establish a connection between your nnounce device and your network.
> 
> 
> 
> Choose between *manual* and *auto mode* setting:
> 
> - **Manual** - user enters IP Address, Net Mask and default Gateway.
> - **Auto** - DHCP server needs to be available to obtain network settings automatically.
> - **Off** mode turns the port off.

> [!WARNING]
> **IMPORTANT**
> 
> 1. You will need the device's IP address, MAC address from your device which you can find on the rear panel or bottom of the device.
> 2. Match connector on rear panel and configuration in the UI - if you configure LAN A on the *Interfaces* tab, make sure you use the LAN A connector on the rear panel.
> 3. LAN A is the default LAN.

> [!TIP]
> Tip!
> 
> Each nnounce device has this section described in detail in the individual [**Installation guides**](https://portal.document360.io/nnounce/docs/installation-guides).

1. Click on the *Interfaces* tab, where you will see LAN A and for most nnounce devices also LAN B. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/image-VWA08DB2.png)
2. Select the ***Edit*** button for the LAN you would like to configure.
3. Choose between Manual and Auto mode:

> [!NOTE]
> Tip!
> 
> - Configure **IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel** upon your network requirements.
> - ***Reset Network Interface*** button is available for Auto network mode IPv4 and restarts the device’s network layer, disabling and reinitializing the network adapter. This terminates the current connection, including any existing DHCP lease, prompting the device to request a new IP address from the DHCP server. The process typically takes a few seconds and restores default network settings without affecting other data

## **Manual mode**

4a. **Fill in the fields**:

- IP Address
- Net Mask
- Other fields are optional.
- **Static routes** for remote networks that need to be reached via the LAN adapter.
- **DNS server** and **Search domains** are assigned by the DHCP server. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/image(145).png)

Click on *Save changes* button to confirm your configuration.

> [!NOTE]
> Tip!
> 
> The advanced toggle enables you to add also ***Static routes*** for the LAN.

## **Auto mode**

4b. Automatically obtain configuration from the DHCP server with the auto mode:

- IP address
- Net Mask
- Gateway
- **Static routes** for remote networks that need to be reached via the LAN adapter.
- **DNS server** and **Search domains** are assigned by the DHCP server.
