You can now locally configure your [Magic WAN Connector](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/) to work in a static IP configuration.

This local method does not require having access to a DHCP Internet connection. However, it does require being comfortable with using tools to access the serial port on Magic WAN Connector as well as using a serial terminal client to access the Connector's environment.

For more details, refer to [WAN with a static IP address](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/configure-hardware-appliance/#bootstrap-via-serial-console).
