4: Using DeviceInstaller
This chapter covers the steps for locating an EDS-MD unit and viewing its properties and device
details. The Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™ application is a free utility program provided by Lantronix
that discovers, configures, upgrades and manages Lantronix device servers.
Notes:
For instructions on using the DeviceInstaller utility to configure the IP address and
related settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.
Auto IP generates a random IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254, with a netmask of 255.255.0.0, if no BOOTP or DHCP server is
found. These addresses are not routable.
