-Despite the complicated name of this method, it is the most common and the easiest one. Just plug in your computer and UniPi controller ​to the same network you have e.g. to your wi-fi router. Both the PC and the UniPi will receive IP address from DHCP server (your router).

 ===== Direct connection ====== ===== Direct connection ======
-Direct connection via ethernet means taking network cable, plug it into the computer and plug the other end to the UniPi controller. Since there is no DHCP server on this small network, your computer and UniPi will assign itself random IP address from 169.254.XXX.XXX range. ​+Direct connection via ethernet means taking network cable, plug it into the computer and plug the other end to the Unipi unit.
