Configuring the Ethernet Interface with DPA-Remote

Use this section to configure an initial IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using DPA- Remote. This procedure cannot be used to change the IP address, but only to assign the initial IP address. It also cannot be used if a DHCP server is active.

Starting Point

This procedure assumes the following:

•That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Devices That Support DPA-Remote and Ping- ARP for IP Address Configuration" on page 2-2.

•That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network

•That the Digi device has DHCP client turned on. This is the default setting, so it will be on unless it was turned off.

•That you do not have a DHCP server to serve IP address. If you do, use the DHCP procedure. See "Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and RARP" on page 2-5.

•That you have installed DPA-Remote version 2.01.11or later. For information on installing DPA- Remote, see the Digi Port Authority Remote Device Monitor Setup Guide, which is on the Access Resource CD.

Procedure

1.Run DPA-Remote.

2.If DPA-Remote is not set for ADDP, choose ADDP as the Discovery Protocol.

3.Choose Discover.

A list of Digi devices appears. Systems with IP addresses of 0.0.0.0 need IP addresses.

4.Select a device from the list and then choose Configure.

5.Supply an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and then choose OK. DPA-Remote configures the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
