NPort Administration Suite

NPort Administration Suite consists of some useful utility programs that are used to configure and manage your NPorts.

See Chapter 6 for details on how to install NPort Administration Suite, and how to use this suite of useful utilities to set up IP addresses and configure your NPort.

ARP

You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your NPort. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort’s MAC address with the intended IP address. You must then use Telnet to access the NPort, at which point the Device Server’s IP address will be reconfigured.

ATTENTION

In order to use this setup method, both your computer and NPort must be connected to the same LAN.

Or, you may use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort directly to your computer’s Ethernet card.

Your NPort must be configured with the factory default IP address192.168.127.254before executing the ARP command, as described below.
