Interface. 

 

the default password is ACCESS.

Configuring the Serial Server via an Ethernet Connection 

For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the ExtendView Utility is the recommended method of configuring one or 
more Serial Servers on your network.  Once the Serial Server obtains an IP address (occurs automatically when the 
unit is powered ON and connected to a DHCP network), the ExtendView Utility’s auto-discovery feature will search 
for and locate all Serial Severs on the network and then display the IP address for each discovered Serial Server. 

 

 

Using the ExtendView Utility to Configure the Serial Sever 
(Windows operating systems): 

 

1.  Start the ExtendView Utility by clicking on Start, Programs, and then ExtendView

2.  When  the  Welcome  screen  appears,  click  on  Next,  choose  any  name  for  your  View  Name,  select 

Automatically  create a view with  default settings (or configure the view to your preferences), and 
then click on Finish

3.  Right-click  on  the  Serial  Server that  you  want  to  configure  from  the  displayed  list,  and then  left-click 

on Configuration.  The default Serial Server name is SBxxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of 
the MAC address from the label located on the back of the Serial Server). 

4.  If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows) and you do not have a DHCP server (see note 

below),  you  will  need  to  manually  assign  a  valid  IP  Address  (if  you  are  not  sure  what  IP  address  is 
valid, ask your network administrator), and then click on OK

5.  Configure  the  802.11b/g  wireless  settings  (for  wireless  models  only).    To  operate  on  an  802.11b/g 

network,  the  Serial  Server  configuration  must  be  set  to  the  same  configuration  as  your  wireless 
network  to  allow  the  Serial  Server  to  communicate  over  your  wireless  network.    All  nodes  of  a 
wireless network need to have the same settings to allow communication between the devices. 

 

wireless mode (ad-hoc or infrastructure)

 

 

SSID channel

 

 

data rate

 

 

wireless security settings (WEP keys, 802.1x settings, etc.)

 

 

NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the Serial Server should have acquired valid IP settings at this point 
and no further configuration is necessary.  However, for most installations, a static IP address is preferred.  If your 
DHCP server does not allow the Serial Server to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually 
assign an IP address.  In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP 
server documentation for details).  To assign a static IP address, right-click on the Serial Server in the menu, and 
then select Configuration
.  On the TCP/IP tab, under IP Address Resolution, select Set Permanent, and assign a valid 
static IP address for your network.  Click on OK
 to save the new settings.
