Network Environment with DHCP Server
When DHCP is active, the unit’s IP address will be assigned by the
network’s DHCP server. Refer to the DHCP server’s IP address table to
determine the unit’s assigned IP address. You may also use the Moxa
VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe), as described
below:
Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility
(edscfgui.exe)
1.
Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort. After the
utility’s window opens, you may also click on the Search button
to initiate a search.
2.
When the search has concluded, the Model Name, MAC address, IP
address, serial port, and HTTP port of the VPort will be listed in the
utility’s window.
3.
Double click the selected VPort or use the IE web browser to access
the VPort’s web-based manager (web server).
Non DHCP Server Network Environment
If your VPort 36-2L is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP
server, then you will need to configure the IP address manually. The
default IP address of the VPort 36-2L is 192.168.127.100 and the default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change your
computer’s IP address and subnet mask so that the computer is on the
same subnet as the VPort.
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web
server, and then navigate to the
System Configuration
Network
General
page to configure the IP address and other network settings.
Check the
Use fixed IP address
option to ensure that the IP address you
assign is not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
Step 2: Accessing the VPort 36-2L’s web-based manager
Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then
press enter.
