Trying to set-up a Cerbo GX with a local LAN connection so I get the functionality like the Remote Console when connected to the Cerbo via WiFi.

This is for offline use, where no Internet connectivity exists, but I want to monitor the equipment in another room and the WiFi connection from the Cerbo is intermittent.

Does the Cerbo have DHCP on the Ethernet port and will it pick-up an address from a local router, if connected? Does setting a manual IP on the Cerbo work, if connected to a hub and another device (PC, etc) is on the same subnet?

Yes and Yes.

When using DHCP, you can easily find the Cerbo by using “venus.local” as the URL. No internet needed, just a local router to provide the IP’s.

When using Fixed IP, then you should not even need the router.

Sweet! I’ll give it a go!
