### <mark style="color:blue;">Troubleshooting</mark>

If your Switch cannot be managed by the EnGenius Cloud Platform, there might be a problem with connecting to EnGenius Cloud.

To troubleshoot the connection issue, you may log in to the **Switch Local Web** page:

1. Make sure that your computer is on the same subnet with the switch **(192.168.0.0/24)** and directly connect to it with an RJ-45 cable.
2. Under your web browser, enter the URL:  <mark style="color:blue;">**<http://192.168.0.239>**</mark> to access the Switch's local web interface.&#x20;
3. You can review the device status after logging into the Switch with the default admin account/password <mark style="background-color:green;">(admin/password).</mark>
4. Check the information on the **Dashboard** and take action if necessary.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Change IP Assignment Settings**</mark>

By default, the EnGenius Cloud Switch (ECS series) is assigned an IP address dynamically by the DHCP server. If you encounter issues with IP address assignment, please double-check the IP setting, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS, and management VLAN. If the issue still exists, you may change your IP assignment from "***DHCP*** " to "***Static***" via the following procedure.

1. Go to the ***Configure> System Settings> IP Address Settings*** section.
2. &#x20;Change Configuration setting to "***Static***".
3. Configure the ***IP address, gateway, subnet mask, and DNS*** settings.
4. Reconnect this Switch to the LAN network and try again

### Step 1: Access to Local Web

1. Connect your computer to the switch and ensure its IP address is in the same subnet.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**How to Change Management Mode?**</mark>

EnGenius Cloud devices support versatile network management methods, but the device can only be managed under one management mode, either **Cloud To-Go** **app** or **Standalone**. Therefore, you need to **reset the device** before changing to a different management mode, followed by QSG instructions for onboarding the device.
