Initial Configuration and What You Need To Know
Configuration should be carried out as soon as the installation is completed. It is important that the installer have a basic understanding
of Ethernet setup in order to initially configure the IPI-4 Converter. If you do not have this basic knowledge, please seek the proper
assistance.
Before proceeding with remote management of the device via EIRIS or AXSalert enterprise software; you need to know the IPI-4
converter’s unique IP address on the LAN/WAN network. Several options for determining the IP address of the device are available.
We recommend that you simply PING the device. Alternatively you can use the enclosed Lantronix_Programming application to assign
an IP address to the converter.

the device will immediately appear.
