5. Initial 

Configuration 

 
The Device Management Utility (DMU), available 
online at 

http://dataprobe.com/support/iboot.html

provides the easiest means to find and configure 
your iBoot-G2 for use.  It can discover all the iBoots 
on your network, display the current IP address of 
each, and allow setting of any valid IP address.  

Install and run the Device Management Utility:  

 

1. Download 

DMUSetup.exe 

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-G2.  The Setup 
Utility will only work with iBoots on the same local 
subnets 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 

New iBoot-G2 

and have either 

the factory default IP address of 

192.168.1.254

 or an 

IP address that was automatically assigned by the 
DHCP server on your network.  If the IP address was 
assigned by a DHCP server, no changes to the IP 
Address are required. 
 
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.   

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 operational 
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.  Follow the instructions on Page 14 to 
configure the iBoot. 
 

The DMU can also be used to return an iBoot-G2 to its Factory Default condition.  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.
