Equinox ESP-2 OPTO Serial Hub Installation and User Guide
7
The configuration utility is automatically enabled on port 1. Using a terminal
emulation program of your choice (with a serial connection at 19200 baud, 8 bits,
no parity and one stop bit), you may access the configuration utility on this port
(see
Accessing the Configuration Utility
on page 24), then configure the network
address information (see
Displaying or Changing Network Configuration Values
on page 26).

If you are using the serial port redirection connection method, install the ESP
drivers included on the CD (be sure to check the Equinox web site,
www.equinox.com, for the latest version). If you are using a Windows host
system, install the EquiView Plus version 5.2 management utility included on the
distribution CD (or downloaded/updated from the Equinox web site). The
Release Notes also contain driver installation information.

If you are using a configuration file with a BootP or DHCP server, consult your
operating system documentation to determine how to configure the BootP or
DHCP server.
•
After the ESP-2 hub acquires an IP address (by any method), it will no
longer use BootP or DHCP. Therefore, you cannot change the network
values using this method.
•
The ESP-2 hub requires a permanent IP allocation. If you are using DHCP, it
must have an infinite lease on the assigned IP address; an IP address with a
finite lease will not be accepted.
The BootP or DHCP server may also specify a configuration file using the
“bootfile” parameter. See
on page 32 for more information.
2.5 Installing the Ferrite Core (POE Only)
A split/snap-on ferrite core (part number 021-0013) is included in the shipment. It is
recommended that this be used to further suppress electromagnetic interference
(EMI) for ESP-2 POE hubs by installing the ferrite core on the LAN (Ethernet) cable.
Use Figure 2 for reference.
