# Configuring the Manifold 5S  Cerulean Sonar Smart Switch

You can open a web page on the Manifold 5S using any browser that is connected to the same Ethernet as the Manifold 5S.

* The web page is HTTP, not HTTPS.
* The web server is on the standard web server port (80).
* The default static IP address of the Manifold 5S is 192.168.2.19. Users can change this address.
* If the  Manifold 5S is powered up when connected to a network with a DHCP server, the Manifold 5S will request a DHCP address on the network, and it will by default ask for its host name to be "smartswitch". Users can change the hostname to something else.
* The Manifold 5S will always respond to a Cerulean Ethernet Discovery giving its name as "smartswitch."
* The Manifold 5S can be assigned a new static IP address using the web interface or the Cerulean Ethernet Discovery protocol.

To connect to the Manifold 5S using its default static IP address, use "<http://192.168.2.19>"

To connect to the Manifold 5S using its dynamically assigned address (assuming it has one), use "<http://smartswitch>".

Once connected to the Manifold 5S main web page, configuration should be straightforward.
