3.5 Hardened Serial Server Configuration
The Hardened Serial Servers can be configured using three methods:
• Via the network using Hardened Serial Server Software.
• Via the network using a Web browser.
• Via a serial port using Hardened Serial Server Software (Console Mode).
3.5.1 Configuring via the Network using Hardened Serial Server Software
Hardened Serial Servers can be configured over the network using Hardened Serial Server Software running on a networked PC.
Hardened Serial Server Software includes a discovery function that makes it possible to detect the Hardened Serial Server on the
network if you do not know its IP address. Once the Hardened Serial Server has been detected, you can use the Hardened Serial
Server Software to change its settings.
NOTE: For more information on how to use Hardened Serial Server Software to configure your Hardened Serial Server, refer to
Chapter 4: Configuring the Hardened Serial Server.

3.5.2 Configuring via the Network using a Browser
Hardened Serial Servers can also be configured over the network using a standard internet browser, such as Internet Explorer
®
or
Firefox
®
running on a networked PC. To do so, you must know the IP address of the Hardened Serial Server. Your Hardened Serial
Server comes from the factory pre-configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP Server. If a DHCP server is not available, it will
default to 169.254.102.39.
