Digi ConnectPort X Family

25

1.

Open the device

if it is not already open.

2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ConnectPort X4 H.

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your PC.

4.

Close the device

.

Note

Digi recommends that you use 2.5 inches per pound of torque when tightening the

screws. You should tighten the screws in a criss-cross pattern to ensure that the cover is not
bent or skewed during this process.

Connect the hardware and power on the device

You can connect the antennas.

1. Connect the wire whip antenna.

2. Connect the cellular antenna.

3. Connect the AC power cord to a proper power source and power up the device.

4. After you have connected all the hardware, you must configure the unit. For configuration

information, see the

ConnectPort X4 Getting Started Guide

, which you can download from

www.digi.com/support/ConnectPortX4

.

Assign an IP address

This section describes how to assign an IP address to Digi ConnectPort X products and manage that
IP address.

Default IP address and DHCP settings

All products that have a cellular (WAN) interface ship with a static IP address for the Ethernet port of
192.168.1.1 and DHCP

server

enabled by default. Therefore, simply connecting a laptop computer to

the Ethernet port of these products allows direct access to the web interface for configuration.
Configure the Ethernet port on the laptop to automatically receive an IP address and DNS server
address.

All products that only have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi (LAN) interface ship with DHCP

client

enabled by

default. Accessing the web interface on these products is most easily done by connecting it to a LAN
that has a DHCP server.

To discover the IP address assigned to the device, use the Device Discovery Utility for Windows. See

Use Digi Device Discovery utility to sign in to the web interface

for more information.

Configuring IP addresses

You can use any of the following methods to assign an IP address to a Digi device:

n

Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from the web interface.

n

Use the command-line interface.

n

Use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP.

Digi ConnectPort X Family devices have two IP addresses: one for Ethernet and one for cellular. The
pre-defined default Ethernet Port IP address is

192.168.1.1
