3. Using DeviceInstaller
This chapter covers the steps for getting the xPico device server online and viewing
its current configuration.
Note: DeviceInstaller is a free utility program provided by Lantronix that
discovers, configures, upgrades, and manages Lantronix Device Servers. It
can be downloaded from the Lantronix website at
www.lantronix.com/support/downloads.
For instructions on using DeviceInstaller to configure the IP address and
related settings or for more advanced features, see the

Online Help.
Installing DeviceInstaller
To install DeviceInstaller:
1. Download the latest version of DeviceInstaller from
http://www.lantronix.com/downloads.
2. Run the executable to start the installation process.
3. Respond to the installation wizard prompts. (If prompted to select an installation
type, select Typical).
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 5 Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) on page 35.
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 StartPrograms LantronixDeviceInstallerDeviceInstaller. If your
PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter
and click OK.
Note: If the unit already has an IP address (e.g., DHCP has assigned an IP address),
click the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix device servers on
the local network.
