Choose the method you want to use to assign an IP address to the Terminal Server:
z
Type in the IP address that you want to assign to this Terminal Server.
z
Enable the
Have the
Terminal Server
automatically get a temporary IP address
option.
This will turn on DHCP/BOOTP, so the Terminal Server will attempt to get its IP address
from your DHCP/BOOTP server. If you don’t have a DHCP/BOOTP server,
DeviceManager will temporarily assign an IP address in the range of
169.254.0.1
-
169.254.255.255
that will be used only for the duration of the DeviceManager/Terminal
Server communication.
Click the
Assign IP
button.
9.
You are now ready to configure the Terminal Server. Double-click the Terminal Server you just
configured the IP address for to open a configuration session. Type
superuser
(the factory
default Admin user password) in the Login window and click
OK
.
10.
Expand the
Server Configuration
folder and select
Server
. Verify the IP address configuration.
You should also enter a name in the
Server Name
field to make the Terminal Server easily
identifiable.
11.
To make your edits take effect, you need to download the new configuration file and then reboot
the Terminal Server. Download the configuration file to the Terminal Server by selecting
Tools
,
Download Configuration to Unit
or click the
Download All Changes
button.
12.
Reboot the Terminal Server by selecting
Tools
,
Reboot Server
or click the
Reboot
Terminal
Server button.
For more information on configuring the Terminal Server using DeviceManager, see
Chapter 5,
Using DeviceManager and WebManager
on page 44
.
Using WebManager
To use the WebManager as your configurator, you must first assign an IP address to the Terminal
Server. You can use the Easy Config Wizard to assign an IP address to the Terminal Server or any of
the other methods described in this section. Once the IP address is assigned to the Terminal Server,
simply type the IP address into the
Address
field of your web browser and press the
Enter
key.
Using a Direct Serial Connection to Specify an IP Address
You can connect to the Terminal Server’s serial console port using a PC with a terminal emulation
package, such as HyperTerminal or a terminal.
1.
Connect the Terminal Server to your PC or dumb terminal. Make sure the DIP switch is in
Console mode (desktop models, this sets the Terminal Server serial port 1 to EIA-232). When
connecting a terminal or PC directly (without modems), the EIA-232 signals need to be crossed
over (‘null modem’ cable). For RJ45 models, the RJ45 to DB9F adaptor shipped with the unit
will provide this crossover.
2.
Using a PC emulation application, such as HyperTerminal, or from a dumb terminal, set the Port
settings to 9600 Baud, 8 Data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bits, and No Hardware Flow control to
connect to the Terminal Server.
3.
When prompted, type
admin
for the User and
superuser
for the Password. You should now see
the a prompt that displays the model type and port number; for example,
Terminal Server 1
port#
.
4.
You are now logged into the Terminal Server and can set the IP address by typing from the
command line using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Type:
set server internet <
ipv4address
>
Where
ipv4address
is the IP Address being assigned to the Terminal Server.
