Assigning a Temporary IP Address to a New Terminal Server
If your network does not use DHCP/BOOTP, you can temporarily assign an IP address to a
Terminal Server that is connected to your local network segment, for the purpose of connecting
to it and downloading a configuration file (containing a permanent IP address). To temporarily
assign an IP address to a Terminal Server, do the following:
1. Click the Search Local Network button. The Terminal Server will be displayed in the IP
Address
column as
Not Configured
.
2. Select the new Terminal Server and click the Assign IP button. The following window is
displayed:
3. Type a valid temporary IP address into the address field and click the
Assign IP
button.
4. Double-click the Terminal Server in the Terminal Server List . If this is the first time you are
accessing the Terminal Server, type in the factory default Admin password,
superuser
, and
click
OK
. The DeviceManager will display a window indicating that it is trying to authenticate
and connect you on the Terminal Server.
5. If the authentication and connection are successful, the Server Info window is displayed. You
are now ready to configure the Terminal Server. If authentication was unsuccessful, try to
connect to the Terminal Server again; you probably mistyped the password for the Admin
user.
