In this section you will specify or “lock” an IP address from your router to the LocationFree 
Base Station. 

1

Go to Settings > Base station > Internet Connections > LAN (DHCP/Manual IP address 
settings)

. Make sure the box next to Automatic IP address configuration (DHCP) is 

checked and write down on a piece of paper the information in all of the fields.

2

Uncheck the box next to Automatic IP address configuration (DHCP). The information in 
the fields will clear, which releases the “automatic” IP settings. 

3

Enter again the information you wrote down in step 

1

 —with one exception. For the IP 

address, be sure to change the last two digits to 64. So, if the IP address your router 
provided is 192.168.0.5, then enter or “assign” 192.168.0.64.

Select the Set button to lock in the IP address and other important information on this 
screen.

5

Press the Index button and select Web to go to the Internet. Make sure you are able to 
access the Internet by viewing any web page. If you are able to access the Internet, the 
settings are correct.

Why the number 64? Most routers using DHCP assign the last numbers of an IP address between 2-50. The number 64 

is safely out of this range. Note that any two-digit number outside of the DHCP range should work.
