# Connect to Rover
To control and configure the lidar system, you must first connect to it. Click the **Connect** icon.
### Connect using Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Example: Using NavBox IP Address to connect Wired via ethernet
Typically, the lidar system is connected over **Ethernet** or **Wi-Fi**. The lidar system has several IP addresses. The table below shows the different NavBox IP Addresses used with different connection types. Example Laptop IP Addresses are also shown. When connecting via ethernet or M12, you must manually set your laptop's IP address.

When connecting via a wired connection, you must configure your computer's network interface with an address on the same subnet as the lidar system. Refer to this [documentation regarding network adapter configuration](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/hardware-and-interfaces/connecting-and-interfacing-with-phoenix-lidar-systems/iface_se/base-station-notebook-setup/wired-ethernet-network-card-setup) in Microsoft Windows. More information about connecting to rover can be found [here](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/hardware-and-interfaces/connecting-and-interfacing-with-phoenix-lidar-systems).
