Ethernet 

The Serial.link will obtain an IP address automatically through 

DHCP. If the DHCP server can’t 

provide an IP or is unavailable, the Serial.link will be on a fixed IP address after a delay of 20 
seconds (

192.168.2.241

).  

The Serial.link configuration tool allows you to discover Serial.links on the local network and 
change the IP configuration.  

When integrated with Lutron

®

 system, Serial.link will connect with Lutron

®

 HomeWorks QS

®

. The 

configuration of Lutron

®

 HomeWorks QS

®

 and keypads is done using the Serial.link configuration 

tool.  See also the Serial.link 

 Lutron

The Serial.link configuration tool allows you to discover any Serial.link on the local network and 
change its IP configuration.  

Discover

 

        

Launch the Serial.link Configuration tool and select the 

General

 tab. By clicking the 

Discover 

button, every Serial.link module in the local network can be discovered.   

Important: The discovery mechanism is based on broadcast messages.  Therefore the PC and 
Serial.link should be connected on the same local network without any network devices blocking 
bro

adcast messages (eg. Routers, Wireless access points,… ) .
