of the error:
• If the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, then the Access Point may have MAC
filtering enabled, and this Nevo S70 device is not yet on the access
list. Log on to the Access Point (see the manufacturer’s instruction
guide for details) and update the MAC filter list.
• An IP Address in the range of 169.254 indicates that a temporary
IP Address was obtained using AutoIP. In this case, NevoS70 has

valid IP Address from the DHCP Server. Since no connection is
possible with this setting, review the DHCP settings on the DHCP

• Another common cause of an invalid IP Address is having incorrect
encryption parameters when the network authentication is set to
“Auto” or “Open”.

• The MAC Address is also available inside the battery cover of NevoS70 ,
and on the About NevoS70 page.
