Configuring the PocketPAD
There are a number of methods to configure the PocketPAD:
• Configuration File Upload
• Web Browser Configuration
• Serial Configuration
These configuration methods will be explained in the next chapter.
Discovering PocketPADs
Launch EtherPAD Explorer. EtherPAD Explorer executable is available on the
MULT
e
NET
Product CD, along with the installation for MS Windows PCs.
Select [
Run EtherPAD Explorer now
] from the Autorun Menu to launch the executable from
the CD, or click [
EtherPAD Explorer

Click [
Scan
] in EtherPAD Explorer to find PocketPADs and other
MULT
e
NET
products
on the local segment. A broadcast is sent out to which
MULT
e
NET
products respond
to. A new device will have no IP Address set, unless a DHCP server is setup and has issued
the PocketPAD an IP Address. Identify the MAC Address on the PocketPAD to verify that the
unit is online. PocketPADs on remote segments and networks will not be seen by EtherPAD
Explorer as routers will block the broadcast.
