Introduction

With the Ilevia X1 server, it is possible to establish a direct network connection to your laptop, without using a router. This guide explains every necessary step. The procedure makes it possible to communicate with and program the X1 server even without a router or LAN network.

Step 1:

Open the network adapter settings: from Control Panel go to Network and Internet, then click Network and Sharing Center and finally Change adapter settings.

Step 2:

Change the IP address settings of the network adapter from DHCP to static: right-click the adapter and choose Properties.

Step 3:

Once in the adapter settings, open the setting called Internet Protocol Version 4.

Step 4: now select “Use the following IP address”: this allows you to enter the static IP address to assign to your device.
