Chapter 5: Using Serial Server Manager

Step 5: Enter the IP Address assigned to the desired Serial Server or click “Search all reachable servers,” then click “OK.” IP Address is used to find Serial Server units that are not on the same subnet. (Routers on the network will block the stan- dard broadcast used to find servers if Search all reachable servers is selected.) The user must set an IP address that con- forms to the LAN addressing scheme.

The Searching window is shown until all active Serial Servers on the LAN are listed in the Serial Server List window.

5.5 Configure Server Properties

The Server Properties window displays the current configuration properties for the currently selected server.

Step 6: To open the Server Properties window, highlight the Serial Server in the Serial Server List window, double-click to open.

The Server Properties window is used to configure and store the Server configuration settings. Details for setting Properties are described in the next chapter.

NOTE: Serial Server Manager Navigation:

Use the mouse to select the property and parameters or

Tab to move to the next property

Tab+Shift to move back to previous property

Arrows to move between properties or change values or contents of the current property

Enter to select update or cancel

Step 7: After configuring as needed, click “Update” to store the configuration in the server.

Step 8: Click “Yes” to restart. A dialog box will appear indicating that the server is restarting, then a dialog box will ask whether you want to search for all reachable servers again.

Step 9: Click “Yes.”

After the port has been updated, you may want to re-enter Server Properties to verify the changes have taken effect, or to view/ change the configuration of other ports. Each port must be configured separately.
