A manual connection is appropriate for networks where UDP packet broadcast on port 33333 is not supported. This can happen if the broadcast on a given network is disabled or the individual reservation suite units are placed on different VLANs among which the broadcast packets do not pass. UDP broadcast on port 33333 is used in the reservation system to search for other units.

> ℹ️ In the case of a manual connection, a fixed IP address (either static or reserved on the DHCP server) is required for the touchONE-manager.

Proceed with the following steps:

- If you join the panel to the reservation suite manually, select "**Join the touchONE-manager manually**".
  

- The following screen appears.
  
- In the "**IP address of the central administration unit**" field, enter the IP address of the touchONE-manager. In this case, a fixed IP address (either static or reserved on the DHCP server) is required for the touchONE-manager.
- Under "**This unit magic name**" you can check or edit the magic name of the unit to be joined. <span style="color: #ff5630">The unit must have the same </span><span style="color: #ff5630">**magic name**</span><span style="color: #ff5630"> as was set for the given unit in the touchONE-manager.</span>
- In the "**Password**" item, enter the password you chose when creating the reservation suite.
- Continue by tapping "**Join**".
