Configure an IP address from the command-line interface

The set network command configures an IP address from the command line. Include the following parameters:

ip=device ip: The IP address for the device.

gateway=gateway: The network gateway IP address.

submask=device submask: The device subnet mask.

dhcp=off: Turns off use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), so that the IP address assigned is permanent.

static=on: Specifies that the IP address is static, and will remain as the specified IP address, gateway, and submask.

For example:

set network ip=10.0.0.100 gateway=10.0.0.1 submask=255.255.255.0 dhcp=off static=on

IP addresses and Connectware Manager

The Connectware Manager interface can only change the Ethernet/LAN address for a Digi device. The mobile/cellular device is typically provided by the mobile service provider; check with your mobile service provider on how they handle addresses. To change the IP address, open the web interface for based on the IP address the device has and navigate to Configuration > Network > IP Settings. On the IP Settings page, enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

To use Connectware Manager, first configure the Digi device using the Digi Device Setup Wizard, then install Connectware Manager. For more information, see the Connectware Manager Operator’s Guide.
