To monitor multiple 4092A units remotely through their Ethernet connections, you must assign each unit a fixed IP address. You identify which unit is the source of an alarm by its IP address. Follow the instructions in this section to assign a unit’s IP address.
Note
For more detailed information, see the Xport User Manual. Section 3.3 discusses several different ways that you can assign IP addresses. Chapter 4 explains how to permanently configure the IP address. You can download the Xport User Manual from the Lantronix® Web site as an Adobe® Acrobat® PDF file. Go to:
http://www.lantronix.com/
If you want to permanently configure the IP address, you must install the Lantronix DeviceInstaller software. This software is available only by downloading from the Lantronix Web site. Go to: http://www.lantronix.com
You can also assign the IP address using Telnet.
Note
If you move the 4092A to a different network hub after setting up the static IP address, the host computer may not be able to make a connection. You may need to release the IP address lease on your operating system.
To assign the static IP address using the Lantronix DeviceInstaller software:
1.Obtain the following network information from your system administrator for each 4092A you want to install:
IP Address: ______ ______ ______ ______
Subnet Mask: ______ ______ ______ ______
Gateway: ______ ______ ______ ______
2.Connect a Windows® PC to the same local subnet as the 4092A.
3.Install and start the Lantronix® DeviceInstaller software.
4.Click the Search Network icon and search for XPORT devices connected to the network, then click Save and Exit.
5.Click the IP icon or select Assign IP Address on the Tools menu.
The hardware device number and IP address appear in the Assign IP Address dialog box.
6.Type the new IP address and click OK.
The new IP address appears in the Lantronix DeviceInstaller window.
7.Test the IP address by pinging the 4092A’s Xport on the Lantronix Xport Installer window.
Click the Ping icon or select Ping Device on the Tools menu.
The Ping Device window should show the IP address of the 4092A’s Xport device, and it should show successful replies if the IP address has been configured correctly.
8.Exit the browser.
