In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to configure the IP address and related information rather than depending on a DHCP server to issue one. To do this, you need to use the web-based Windows 10 IoT Core dashboard.

Note

To install and/or learn more about the Windows 10 IoT Core dashboard, consult your Microsoft documentation.
