First-Time IP Address Configuration

NOTE: Skip this section if you have already configured the SX-500 IP address

If you are configuring the Serial Device Server from a non-Windows computer or if you cannot use an Ethernet connection, you must first configure the Serial Device Server IP address. Note that it is only necessary to perform this task one time -- once the address has been configured, the Serial Device Server can be accessed from any computer on the network that has the appropriate privileges. The steps are as follows:

1.If your network has a DHCP server and you can use an Ethernet connection to the Serial Device Server:

a.Make sure your PC is connected and has access to your network.

b.Connect an Ethernet cable from your network hub to the Serial Device Server (if you have a wireless Serial Device Server and do not have hardwired capabilities, then you must go to Step 4 below for setup instructions).

c.Power on the Serial Device Server.

d.The administration program on most DHCP servers logs the IP address and MAC address of each DHCP client. The MAC address of the Serial Device Server can be found on the label affixed to the unit. If your DHCP server has logged this information, write down the IP address of the Serial Device Server for future reference. You are now ready to configure the Serial Device Server (skip the remainder of this section).

e.If your DHCP server does not provide client information or if you do not have access to the DHCP server, then you can get the IP address by connecting a serial device such as a printer, a Windows PC running HyperTerminal, or another serial device capable of printing ASCII characters to the serial port the Serial Device Server). Your serial device must be set at 115.2Kbps, 8-bit character size, and no parity.

f.With the serial device and Serial Device Server switched on and ready, press the Reset pushbutton on the Serial Device Server. This will cause the Serial Device Server configuration data to be sent to the connected serial device. The serial device should display or print the current IP address assigned to the Serial Device Server by your network DHCP service. Write down this address for future reference. You are now ready to configure the Serial Device Server (skip the remainder of this section).

2.If you can connect the Serial Device Server via Ethernet but do not have a DHCP server, then you must use the following procedure for the first-time IP configuration of the Serial Device Server.

a.Make sure your PC is connected and has access to your network

b.Connect an Ethernet cable from your network hub to the Serial Device Server. The Serial Device Server must be on the same network segment as the PC (that is, there can be no router between the Serial Device Server and the PC).

c.From the Windows Command Prompt (MS-DOS Prompt), the Mac OS X Terminal Utility, or the UNIX/Linux command line, enter the command

arp –sipaddress macaddress
