Assigning an IP Address

Note: To use DeviceInstaller for communication to an XPress DR+W over a wireless network, you must first configure the network and WLAN settings using a serial connection.

The XPress DR+'s IP address must be configured before the unit can work correctly on a network. You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you manually assign the IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller software, which is on the product CD.

The unit’s IP address is normally set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory. The hardware address is on the product label. The unit is DHCP-enabled as the default.

To assign an IP address manually:

1.Click StartÆPrograms Æ LantronixÆDeviceInstallerÆDeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click OK.
