Assigning an IP Address
The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correctly on a network. You have
several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you manually assign the
IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller.
Note:
To use a serial connection instead of an Ethernet connection to configure the device,
see
Chapter 6: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).
The unit’s IP address is normally set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory. The hardware address is on the
product label. The unit is DHCP enabled as the default.
To assign an IP address manually:
1. Click

PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click

the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix device servers on the local
network.
2. Click the
