## Step 4 - Change device address
Depending on your charge controller or if you have configured it with the bluetooth module before
it might be needed to change the modbus device address `RNGBridge` uses to communicate with your charge controller.
One good indication for this is if the orange led stays lit for 2 seconds, turns off for 2 seconds and the data in the GUI is all zeros and does not change.
To change the address follow the follwing steps:

1. Open the settings menu by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the page.
2. Click on the panel named `Device`.
3. Enter the device address (1 - 255 where 255 is default) in the `Address` field
4. Click on `SAVE DEVICE CONFIG`
