Pico-UTM may not be assigned with a valid IP address due to the following reasons:

1. The network is using static IP addresses (no DHCP server).
2. The network requires getting a valid IP address through PPPoE.
3. The DHCP server is not working.

In such cases, log in to Pico-UTM with the alternative method:

Step 1: Connect the LAN port of Pico-UTM to a PC (or a laptop) with an ethernet cable.

Step 2: Set the IP configuration for the PC manually:

• IP address: 10.254.254.1 (~253)
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Step 3: Launch a web browser on the PC and enter “http://10.254.254.254”. Then the Pico-UTM login page displays.
