Connect your “Wise Connect Z-Wave 800 & ZigBee 3.0” device (hereafter called WiseConn) to a PoE port in your network. Go to the Wise Connect website and download the Network Configuration Tool. Here you are able to see and change the settings on the device.
By default, WiseConn is configured to work with DHCP and will obtain its IP address from your router. While it’s possible to set a static IP address on the Z-NET settings page, we strongly recommend that you leave this set to DHCP and use a router address reservation to set a static IP address instead. This will make it easier to access the WiseConn if you change routers.
