Note: DeviceInstaller is a free utility program provided by Lantronix that discovers, configures, upgrades, and manages Lantronix Device Servers. It can be downloaded from the Lantronix website at www.lantronix.com/support/downloads.

For instructions on using DeviceInstaller to configure the IP address and related settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.

Installing DeviceInstaller

To install DeviceInstaller:

1.Download the latest version of DeviceInstaller from http://www.lantronix.com/downloads.

2.Run the executable to start the installation process.

3.Respond to the installation wizard prompts. (If prompted to select an installation type, select Typical).

Assigning an IP Address

The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correctly on a network. You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you manually assign the IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller.

Note: To use a serial connection instead of an Ethernet connection to configure the device,

see Chapter 6: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).

The unit’s IP address is normally set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory. The hardware address is on the product label. The unit is DHCP enabled as the default.

To assign an IP address manually:

1.Click StartAll Programs  LantronixDeviceInstaller 4.3DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click OK.

Note: If the unit already has an IP address (e.g., DHCP has assigned an IP address), click the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix device servers on the local network.

2.Click the Assign IP icon .

3.If prompted, enter the hardware address (on the product label) and click Next.
