Setting a Static IP on iOS/iPadOS

Note

This guide was made using iOS 17.3. Your screens may vary from these screenshots, depending on what version of iOS you are using.

1. Open your Settings app, and select Wi-Fi near the top of the menu.
   

2. Connect to the lighting or sound control network you want to use.

3. Once the network shows at the top, tap on the symbol to the right of the network name.
   

4. From the network settings screen, scroll down and tap on Configure IP.
   

5. Change the setting on this page from Automatic to Manual.
   

6. Set a manual IP address in the proper range of your equipment (typically for lighting systems, this IP address is going to start with 10.101.125.xxx, but you can check the IP address of your lighting or sound console, and set the IP to be in the same range - the first two sets of numbers should be the same, and the third set of numbers will typically be 125.)

   1. Warning

      If you are connecting multiple devices to the network (more than one iPad, phone, computer, etc, you must make sure that each device has a unique IP address. i.e., the last set of numbers must be unique for each device. If your first device is set to 10.101.125.101, then you could set additional devices to use IPs 10.101.125.102, .103, etc.)

7. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0.

8. Leave Router blank.
9. Tap Save in the top right of the screen.
