Options for Configuring the IP Address and Mask

The device server IP address can be configured using the following methods:

With Digi Port Authority-Remote, a Digi utility on the Software and Documentation CD.

By updating the ARP table on a server and then pinging the Digi device (called ARP-Ping, see "Configuring the IP Address Using ARP-Ping" on page 20).

From the command line using the set config command ("Configuring the Ethernet Interface from the Command Line" on page 21.)

Using a RARP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and RARP" on page 22.)

Using a DHCP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and RARP" on page 22.)

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.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface 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.

Starting Point

This procedure assumes the following:

That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Device Support: Digi Port Authority-Remote and ARP-Ping for IP Address Configura- tion" on page 19.

That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network.
