16-, 32-, and 48-Port Value-Line Console Servers Quick Start Guide
NOTE: The computer connected to the LAN must have an IP address in the same
network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the Value-Line Console Server. Alternately,
you can use the ARP ping command to set the IP address (refer to the user’s
manual). The embedded DHCP client is enabled by default, so it will
automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on
your network—and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP
address.
Figure QS-1. System Administration screen.
4. To assign your Console Server a static IP address or to permanently enable DHCP,
select “System: IP” and check “DHCP or Static“ for Configuration Method.
QS5. Configure Serial and Network Devices
1. Select “Serial & Network: Serial Port” to display the labels, modes, and protocol
options currently set for each serial port—by default all serial ports are set in
Console Server mode (refer the user’s manual if other modes are required).
2. To configure a serial port, click “Edit.” Configure the Common Settings (Baud
Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Flow Control) to match those of the device
being controlled.
