Chapter 2 Configuring the IP Address 13
The next step in the device configuration process is to configure an IP
address and access the device for more advanced configurations. You
must set the initial IP before you can use the web interface. Once the IP is
set, the device can be accessed through the web interface and any
changes made including changing the IP address.
Options for Configuring the IP Address and Mask
The device server IP address can be configured using the following
methods:
With the Wizard from the Software and Documentation CD. (Insert
the CD and the wizard automatically pops up for Microsoft Windows
systems. If you have a UNIX system see the back of the quick start
guide for mounting instructions.)
With Digi Port Authority-Remote, a Digi utility on the Software and
Documentation CD.
From the command line, using the set config command. See the
Digi Command Reference for more details.
By updating the ARP table on a server and then pinging the Digi
device (called ARP-Ping, see "Configuring the IP Address Using
ARP-Ping" on page 14).
Using a DHCP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 15.)
Using a RARP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 15.)
The IP address and mask can also be changed using the web interface,
but not for initial IP address configuration.
