IP ADDRESS
Software or hardware attempting to access the serial server via the network must know the
IP Address
of the server.
In DHCP mode (factory default), the serial server requests and receives a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server
when it first connects to the network. If there is not a DHCP Server on your network, this device will automatically
default to IP Address
169.254.102.39
. If the serial server is unable to connect to your network using this address,
there are two methods to manually configure the IP Address.

Default Gateway = 169.254.102.100
c.
Use the Ethernet Serial Server Manager Software to search for, discover, and configure
the unit.
2.
Method Two: Change the serial server’s network setting to match your PC using Console Mode

an available COM port on your PC.
