Options for Configuring the IP Address and Mask

Options

The PortServer TS 8/16 IP address can be configured using the following methods:

With Digi Port Authority-Remote, a Digi utility

By updating the ARP table on a server and then pinging the Digi device (called Ping-ARP)

From the command line using the set config command

Using a RARP server

Using a DHCP server

The IP address and mask can also be changed using the web interface. This method, however, does not work for the initial IP address configuration.
