Once the DMU is run, click on Device | Discover to display all the iBoots on your network. The DMU will
display the location name of the iBoot, the product ID and
version number, the current IP Address, and the MAC
Address. Factory defaulted iBoots will display with the
name New iBoot-G2+ and have either the factory default
IP address or an IP address that was automatically
assigned by the DHCP server on your network.
Note:
It is preconfigured as 192.168.0.XXX.
The IP address field also indicates the port for the web
access that is used by the iBoot. The standard port for web
browser control is factory default Port 80.
Change the IP Address
1.
Click on the row containing the iBoot-G2+ to be set. The row will become highlighted.
2.
From the menu select SET | IP Address.
3.
Enter the new IP Address into the form. Click OK when done.
4.
A confirmation box is displayed. Click OK to clear the box.
Once the IP Address is set, other all other operation features of the iBoot-G2+ can be set up. Click on
Discover again to refresh the display, highlight the desired iBoot-G2+ and click on Manage | Launch
Browser.
The DMU can also be used to return an iBoot-G2+ to its Factory Default Condition (this is different than
Daktronics default). This can be used to recover an iBoot-G2 with a lost password. Highlight an iBoot-G2+
from the display and select Set | Factory Defaults. This must also be done within the first two minutes of
powering up the iBoot.
Setting the IP Address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and
Gateway to the iBoot. If you reboot the iBoot-G2+ with the IP Mode set for DHCP, the DHCP server will
be able to assign an IP address. Once an IP address is assigned, you must check the DHCP server or use
the iBoot-G2+ Setup Utility to see what address is assigned to the iBoot. You can lock the iBoot-G2+ to the
current address, by selecting UP Mode = Static without changing the addresses. Set the IP Mode either by
using the web setup page, or via Telnet commands.
If you set the IP address using another method, the address becomes static. To return iBoot-G2+ to
dynamic addressing using DHCP, select DHCP mode in Network Setup and reboot the unit.
Setting the IP Address Using Web Browser
To set the IP address using a Web Browser, connect the Ethernet connection to your local network and
apply power to the iBoot.
Open your browser and access iBoot-G2+ by entering the default or current IP address into your
browser's Address window. Enter the administrator credentials, click on Setup.
