# 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.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/manifold-5l-and-manifold-5s-ethernet-switch/configuring-the-manifold-5s-cerulean-sonar-smart-switch.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
