NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual Configuring NPort Administrator

Broadcast Search

The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NPort 5400s that are connected to the same LAN as your computer. Since the Broadcast Search function searches by MAC address and not IP address, all NPort 5400s connected to the LAN will be located, regardless of whether or not they are part of the same subnet as the host.

1.Click the Search icon. The Broadcast Search window will open and display the Model, IP Address, MAC Address, and Progress of the search for that particular device.

2.When the search is complete, the Broadcast Search window will close, and a list of device servers that were located will be displayed in the right pane of the Administrator window. You can modify the IP address of the NPort 5400 after it has been located by the Broadcast Search function. If more than one server is found on the network, refer to the MAC address sticker on your server(s) to determine which server(s) you wish to configure. To configure a device server, place the cursor over the row displaying that device server’s information, and then double click the left mouse button.

ATTENTION

Before modifying the NPort 5400’s configuration, use Broadcast Search to locate all NPort 5400s connected to the LAN, or use Specify by IP Address to locate a particular NPort 5400.

Specify by IP Address

If you know the current IP address of the NPort that you wish to configure, you can add it to the list directly by using the Specify by IP Address function.
