Required Information
Hardware Address
Take note of the unit’s hardware address (also known as the MAC or Ethernet
address). It is on the product label, in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs
are unique numbers assigned to the product (see
Product Information Label
on page
11).
Hardware Address:

IP Address
The UDS must have a unique IP address on your network. This address references
the specific unit. By default, the device is DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned
an IP address on DHCP-enabled networks. If you are assigning a static IP address,
the systems administrator generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
Note:
The factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP, BOOTP,
and AutoIP. When the units boots, it sends a DHCP broadcast to try and get
an IP address. If it receives no reply from a DHCP server, the UDS tries
BOOTP. If the UDS does not receive a response from BOOTP, it reverts to
an AutoIP address.

You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. This chapter provides
information about using the DeviceInstaller (graphical user interface) and serial port
login (command line interface) methods.

For more information other methods of assigning IP addresses, such
as DHCP, AutoIP, ARP and Telnet, see
