Lantronix LPS1-T, MPS100, LPS1-2 manual TCP/IP Configuration, Setting the IP Address, Using EZWebCon

4: TCP/IP Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. The fol- lowing sections cover IP address configuration and print configuration methods for TCP/ IP hosts.

4.1 Setting the IP Address

The MPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. Use one of the following methods to set the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed Ping packet; a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command line interface.

4.1.1 Using EZWebCon

Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the EZWebCon Expert Shell.

1From the Action menu, select Assign IP Address.

2Enter or change the IP-related settings:

A For Ethernet Address, enter the number that appears on the bottom label of your MPS.

B For IP Address, enter the desired IP address to use for this MPS.

C For Subnet Mask, change the values provided only if you wish to use a mask other than the default. The default value should be correct in most cases.

D For Loadhost, enter the IP address of the loadhost where you intend to store your operating code and SDK files (if used).

3Click OK.

4Reboot the MPS. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configuration was successful.

Note: If you have an older version of EZWebCon, refer to the Readme that was included with it.

4.1.2 Using a Directed Ping Packet

The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. If the MPS has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it receives.
