Initial Configuration 

4.1. 

Auto-Configuration 

If your network supports 

Dynamic Host Configuration 

Protocol  (

DHCP

),  the  iBoot  will  be  automatically 

assigned  an  IP  Address  and  be  ready  to  use.    You 
can  discover  the  IP  Address  through  your 
Server/Router, 

or 

use 

Dataprobe’s 

Device 

Management Utility (DMU).

 

4.2. 

Device Management Utility 

The 

DMU 

is 

available 

online 

at 

dataprobe.com/support-iboot-dc/

provides 

the 

easiest  means  to  find  and  configure  your  iBoot-DC 
for use.  It can: 

 

Discover all the iBoots on your network,  

 

Display the current IP address of each 

 

Allow setting of an IP address 

 

Reset to Factory Defaults 

 

Upgrade the Firmware of the iBoot-DC 

 

Obtain and use the DMU: 

1.  Download  the  latest  version  of  the  DMU  at 

dataprobe.com/support-iboot-dc/

  

2.  Run DMUSetup.exe 
3.  Run the DMU  

 

Note:  The IP address can only be set within the first 
two minutes of powering up the iBoot-DC or pressing 
the  reset  button  (see  Section  11).    The  Setup  Utility 
will  only  work  with  iBoots  on  the  same  physical 
subnet as the PC. 
 
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 

iBoot-DC-xxxx  where  the 

xxxx are the last 4 segments of the MAC address, 

and  have  the  factory  default  IP  address  of 

192.168.1.254, or as set by DHCP

.   

 
The  IP  address  field  also  indicates  the  port  for  web 
access  that  is  used  by  the  iBoot.    The  standard  port 
for web browser control is factory default Port 80.
