STEP 1—set up the connected devices

Set up the Ethernet-enabled devices connected to MOXA EtherDevice Switch for which you would like IP addresses to be assigned automatically. The devices must be configured to obtain their IP address automatically.

The devices’ configuration utility should include a setup page that allows you to choose an option similar to Obtain an IP address automatically.

For example, Windows’ TCP/IP Properties window is shown at the right. Although your device’s configuration utility may look quite a bit different, this figure should give you some idea of what to look for.

You also need to decide which of MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s ports your Ethernet-enabled devices will be connected to. You will need to set up each of these ports separately, as described in the following step.

STEP 2

Configure MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s Set device IP function, either from the Console utility or from the Web Browser interface. In either case, you simply need to enter the Desired IP for each port that needs to be configured.

STEP 3

Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.

•When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking the Activate button.

•When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press Enter. You should receive the Set device IP settings are now active! (Press any key to continue) message.
