Initial IP Address Configuration 

When setting up your NPort IA5000A for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure the IP address. 
This chapter introduces the methods that can be used to configure the device server’s IP address. Select one 
of the initial IP Address configuration methods to configure the NPort IA5000A’s IP Address. For 
more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console 
Configuration. 

The following topics are covered in this chapter: 

  Initializing the NPort’s IP Address 

  Factory Default IP Address 

  NPort Administration Suite 

  ARP 

  Telnet Console 

  Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
