Lantronix UDS1100 manual Required Information, Hardware Address, IP Address

3: Getting Started

Required Information

Before configuring the UDS, have the following information available:

Hardware Address

Take note of the unit’s hardware address (also known as the Ethernet or MAC address). It is on the product label, in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs are unique numbers assigned to the product (see Product Information Label on page 12).

Hardware Address: 00-20-4a-_____-_____-_____

IP Address

The UDS must have a unique IP address on your network. This address references the specific unit. By default, the unit is DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned an IP address on DHCP-enabled networks. If you are assigning a static IP address, the systems administrator generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

Note: The factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP, BOOTP, and AutoIP. When the units boots, it sends a DHCP broadcast to try and get an IP address. If it receives no reply from a DHCP server, the UDS tries BOOTP. If the UDS does not receive a response from BOOTP, it reverts to an AutoIP address.

You have several options for assigning an IP address and related network settings to your unit. This chapter provides information about using the DeviceInstaller (graphical user interface) and serial port login (command line interface) methods.

Note: For information about other methods of assigning the IP address, such

as DHCP, AutoIP, ARP, and Telnet, see A: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP Address.
