1. Login to Plug Admin

 

TonidoPlug related configuration is always done using the Tonido Plug Admin. To access Plug Admin pages, login into your account, click on the "TonidoPlug Admin" link on the left.

You will need to enter your Plug Admin password you had setup during initial plug setup. Use your admin password to login. Remember, this password is different from your Tonido account password.

 

Please note that you can only open Plug Admin if you are in the same LAN as the TonidoPlug (however there is a way to make this Plug Admin accessible remotely in recent TonidoPlug software).

 

 

2. Change Network Settings

 

Once you login into Plug Admin, TonidoPlug's network settings are available on the Network Tab. You can set a static IP address or DHCP address.

 

 Address Type - DHCP (Default)
 

Most homes will have DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), where your router automatically assigns IP address for computers and devices connected to it. If your router is DHCP you need not change settings in this tab. Values for IP, default gateway, domain name, and DNS servers will be automatically assigned. So you do not need to do anything.

 

 Address Type - Static

 

  Note that this is an advanced setting and if you are not sure about these settings, do not modify them. Doing so might make your plug inaccessible.

If your network setup is not DHCP, you have to assign a fixed IP for your plug. You need to have the following information to complete the setting.

 

 

You can get inputs for subnet, gateway and DNS from your network administrator or you can find this information from another machine connected to the same local network. In Windows machine connected to the local network, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /all", you will see values for subnet, gateway and DNS listed.
