Configuring the IP Address Using ARP-Ping

Configuring the IP Address with Digi Port Authority-Remote

Use this section to configure an initial IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using Digi Port Authority-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.

Assumptions

This procedure assumes the following:

•That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Device Support: Digi Port Authority-Remoteand ARP-Ping for IP Address Configuration" on page 13.

•That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network.

•That the Digi device has DHCP client turned on. This is the default setting and 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 15.

•That you have installed Digi Port Authority-Remote version 2.01.11 or later. Click the Help button on the tool bar in Digi Port Authority- Remote to check the version number.
