Using XPort™Installer
If your PC has more than one network adapter, you can select it from the Property Grid. All
commands will use whichever adapter is selected. With nothing selected in the List, click
the Network Interface field in the Property Grid, click on the drop-down arrow of the field,
and select the appropriate adapter. By clicking on the plus sign to the left of the field, you
can view the settings for the selected adapter.
6.1.2 Assign IP Address
If your local network uses static IP address (no DHCP server is present), use the Assign IP
Address command to assign a static IP address to a device. Click the Assign IP
button
on the Toolbar.
Enter the Hardware Address in the first field (also known as Ethernet Address, Network
Address, or Physical Address). The hardware address may be found on the Lantronix
product label, and takes the form of six hexadecimal numbers separated by dashes.
Enter the IP Address in the second field. Contact your network administrator to determine a
suitable address to use. To make the device use DHCP, enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP address.
Click OK to assign the IP address. It takes approximately 10 seconds for the IP Address to
be set on the device and verified, after the unit has rebooted, and then added to the List if
not already there.
6.1.3 Add Remote Device
To add a remote device (a device that is not within the same subnet), select the Add
Remote Device command from the Action menu. A dialog box will prompt for the IP
address. Enter the IP address and click OK. If the device was found successfully, it will be
added to the list.
6.1.4 Ping
To detect if a device is online and the network is functional, use the Ping command. Click
the Ping
button on the Toolbar.
