Settings: Network
The Network page allows you to configure Internet Protocol (IP) settings for the network by selecting
either DHCP or Static in the IP Configuration toggle.
Note: DHCP is the default network IP configuration mode. However, if your system used a DHCP router, it
is strongly recommended that the PowerSpace+ device is configured with a static IP address.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) dynamically assigns the IP address from a DHCP server.
When you select DHCP, the IP configuration settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway) are
automatically set and are not configurable.
Note: No further configuration is necessary on the Settings > Network tab when DHCP is enabled.
The following procedure is only necessary if the current IP configuration mode is Static and you wish to
change it to DHCP.
To change the IP configuration mode from Static to DHCP:
1. Click DHCP on the IP Configuration toggle.
2. Click Apply.
3. In the Warning dialog box, click Continue to save the settings and restart the device, or click Cancel
to stop the process.
Note: After changing the IP configuration mode to DHCP, you must use the Bose Discovery Tool applic-
ation (which you can download from bosepro.link/psasw) to reconnect to the system.
IMPORTANT: The Discovery Tool cannot identify Bose PowerSpace+ devices on Class A and Class B
networks when the computer hosting the Discovery Tool has a static IP address but no defined
subnet mask and gateway.
Link-Local IP Address (Auto IP)
If the device is set to DHCP and no DHCP server is found, such as when there is a direct connection
between the device and a laptop computer, the device will automatically assign itself a link-local IP
address (also known as Auto-IP) in the 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 range. You must open and run
the Bose Discovery Tool application to view the device's IP address.
Note: You can download the Bose Discovery Tool application from bosepro.link/psasw.
Static IP Address
Static IP address configuration allows you to manually configure a specific IP address. The IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway options become active and must be configured when you select Static.
To change the IP configuration mode from DHCP to Static:
1. Click Static on the IP Configuration toggle.
2. In the IP Address text box, enter the IP address.
3. In the Subnet Mask text box, enter the Subnet Mask address.
4. In the Gateway text box, enter the default Gateway address.
5. Click Apply.
6. In the Warning dialog box, click Continue to save the settings and restart the device, or click Cancel
to stop the process.
