3.8 Discovering Hardened Serial Servers

If you are configuring the Hardened Serial Server via the network, select “Network”; if you are configuring it via the serial port, select “Serial Port.”

If you already know the IP address of the Hardened Serial Server, click “The device is at this IP address”; if not, leave “I don’t know the IP address of the device” selected.

Click “Connect.” The Progress text box and bar graph provide information to indicate whether serial servers are detected and how far along the process is.

The text in the Progress box appears in various colors, depending on the message type.
