Assigning an IP Address
The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correc tly on a network.
You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recomm end that you
manually assign the IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller.
Note: To use a serial connection instead of an Ethernet connection to configure t he
device, see 5 Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) on pa ge 35.
The unit’s IP address is normally set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory. The hard ware address
is on the product label. The unit is DHCP enabled as the default.
To assign an IP address manually:
1. Click StartPrograms LantronixDeviceInstallerDeviceInstaller. If yo u r
PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an ad apter
and click OK.
Note: If the unit already has an IP address (e.g., DHCP has assigned an IP addr ess),
click the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix device servers on
the local network.
