IP ADDRESSING
Your unit must have a unique IP address on your network.� The IP address can be assigned automatically or you can assign it manually.�
DHCP
Many networks use an automatic method of assigning an IP address called DHCP.� If you are unsure whether your network uses DHCP, check with your systems administrator.�
The EDS looks for a DHCP server when it first powers up.�You can use the DeviceInstaller graphical user interface to search the network if your unit has been assigned an IP address by the DHCP server.� If the EDS does not acquire an IP, or you do not use DHCP, you must assign a fixed IP address using the serial port of the EDS.�
Fixed IP Address
In most installations, a fixed IP address is desirable.� The systems administrator generally provides the IP address.�
The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC.�You will need the following information before you set up the unit as described in this Quick Start Guide.�
IP Address: | ___ ___ ___ ___ |
Subnet Mask: | ___ ___ ___ ___ |
Gateway: | ___ ___ ___ ___ |
The following section describes assigning an IP address using DeviceInstaller.�
Note: For detailed instructions on assigning the IP address using the serial port, please see the User Guide or the EDS Video Tutorial on the Lantronix web site.
