The serial server is set at the factory to receive
an IP assignment from a DHCP Server. If a
DHCP server is not available on your network, it
will default to

If this address does not work with your PC,
change your network settings to:
o
IP Address = 169.254.102.1
o
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
o
Default Gateway = 169.254.102.100
If you need to use different settings, refer to the
Users Manual for instructions.

Click
Port 1
Network to open the Port Network
Parameters page.
Select the type of network protocol you want to
use: TCP, UDP, VCOM or Paired Mode.
If you select TCP, select whether the serial server
will operate as a Client or Server, then configure
the required IP address, port numbers and other
related parameters.
If you select UDP, configure the IP addresses,
ports and other related parameters for the devices
you want to receive from and send to.
If you want the serial server to act as a virtual
communications port for a computer, select
VCOM. This allows your computer to connect to a
serial device on the network as if it were
connected to a physical COM port.
If you want the serial server to operate in Paired
mode with another serial server, select Paired,
then configure it as a client or server and set up
the IP address, port numbers and other related
parameters (similar to setting up TCP).
