Required Information
Before configuring the UDS, have the following information available:
Hardware Address
Take note of the unit’s hardware address (also known as the Ethernet or MAC
address). It is on the product label, in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs
are unique numbers assigned to the product
Hardware Address: 00-20-4a-_____-_____-_____
IP Address
The UDS must have a unique IP address on your network. This address references
the specific unit. By default, the unit is DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned an
IP address on DHCP-enabled networks. If you are assigning a static IP address, the
systems administrator generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
Note: The factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP, BOOTP,
and AutoIP. When the units boots, it sends a DHCP broadcast to try and get
an IP address. If it receives no reply from a DHCP server, the UDS tries
BOOTP. If the UDS does not receive a response from BOOTP, it reverts to
an AutoIP address.

You have several options for assigning an IP address and related network settings to
your unit. This chapter provides information about using the DeviceInstaller (graphical
user interface) and serial port login (command line interface) methods.
Note: For information about other methods of assigning the IP address, such
as DHCP, AutoIP, ARP, and Telnet, see A: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP
Address.
