Solution 5. Make a manual IP connection
1: Print a network configuration page from the configuration or network configuration menu. Then, under the network connection type (wired or wireless), check whether the status of the network is connected or not.

If you find other numbers for IPv4 and IPv6, you only need the IPv4 number. Then get the URLs for the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
3: Open the EWS URL in a web-based browser In EWS, click the Networks / Networks tab, open the Wired / Wireless menu, and then click IPv4 Configuration. Select Manual IP, click Recommend a manual IP address, and then configure the IP address.
