Network

5. Network Settings 

 The Network page in SLZB-OS manages how your device connects to your local network and, if required, to the internet. The available sections may vary depending on the selected Mode and hardware capabilities (Ethernet, Wi-Fi). 

 

 

 5.1 Information Block 

 At the top of the page you may see an info notice if certain network interfaces are inactive. Example: 

 

 “Wi-Fi page is inactive because Wi-Fi mode is not activated.” To enable it, change the device’s mode to one that supports Wi-Fi (see Mode page). 

 

 

 5.2 Connection Overview 

 A visual diagram shows the main connections: 

 

 

 LAN – Wired Ethernet connection. 

 

 

 Wi-Fi – Wireless interface (if enabled). 

 

 

 

 5.3 LAN / Ethernet Settings 

 Ethernet is the primary connection method for most SLZB devices. 

 5.3.1 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 

 

 

 Enable to have the SLZB device automatically receive network settings (IP, subnet mask, gateway) from your router. 

 

 

 Recommended for most home networks. 

 

 

 5.3.2 Static IP Configuration 

 If DHCP is disabled, manually configure: 

 

 

 IP Address – The fixed address the device will use. Must be unique on your network. 

 

 

 Subnet Mask – Defines which IP addresses are considered local (e.g., 255.255.255.0 ). 

 

 

 Gateway – The IP address of your router or gateway to access external networks. 

 

 

 DNS Server(s) – Optional; used to resolve domain names. Defaults to your gateway if not set. 

 

 

 

 Tip: Use a static IP if you run integrations that need a consistent address (e.g., Home Assistant with static MQTT host). 

 

 

 5.4 Wi-Fi Settings 

 (Visible only when Wi-Fi mode is active) 

 5.4.1 Scan for Wi-Fi Networks 

 

 

 Searches for available networks. 

 

 

 Displays SSID, signal strength, and security type. 

 

 

 5.4.2 Connect to Network 

 

 

 SSID – Chosen from scan or entered manually. 

 

 

 Password – Required for secured networks. 

 

 

 Security Type – WPA/WPA2, WPA3 (depending on hardware/firmware). 

 

 

 5.4.3 IP Configuration 

 

 

 Same as Ethernet — can use DHCP or set Static IP , Subnet , Gateway , DNS . 

 

 

 

 5.5 Applying Changes 

 

 

 Adjust the settings for the interface you are using (Ethernet/Wi-Fi). 

 

 

 Click Save or Apply . 

 

 

 The device may briefly lose connectivity while settings are applied. 

 

 

 Verify new settings on the Dashboard or via your router. 

 

 

 

 5.6 Troubleshooting 

 

 

 No connection after static IP set – Ensure the IP, subnet, and gateway match your network’s addressing scheme. 

 

 

 Wi-Fi not available – Check mode selection; only certain modes enable Wi-Fi. 

 

 

 PoE not powering device – Confirm your switch/injector supports the correct PoE standard for your SLZB model. 

 

 

 Can’t reach device – Use a network scanner or check router’s DHCP leases to find its IP.
