Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) – Page 2
Configuring Your Concentrator
For initial configuration, the Concentrator must be connected to the same local area network as
the configuration PC. Note also that Peripheral Server Concentrators cannot function behind
firewalls
In order to configure your Peripheral Server Concentrator:
1. Launch the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility from the Start menu. The utility
displays a list of discovered Peripheral Server Concentrators on your local subnet.
A new Peripheral Server Concentrator will have a default IP address of 0.0.0.0.
You must configure the Concentrator before it can be used on a network.
2. After the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility has been launched it will reside in
your system tray. To open the utility double click on the Inside Out Networks icon
in the system tray. If you try to start the Utility from the start menu and does not
launch, check the system tray.
3. You can identify each concentrator by its IP Address. If the Concentrator is
unconfigured, then the serial number can be used for identification
Unconfigured Concentrators are listed separately. For example, the Concentrator
with serial number V419F0649 above has not yet been configured.
4. To discover Concentrators on other networks, see “Using the configuration Utility
Program” on page 7.
