is on the product label. The unit is DHCP enabled as the default.
To manually assign an IP address:

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.
2. Click the Assign IP icon

address; if desired, you may change it. On a local network, you can leave the
Default gateway blank (all zeros). Click Next.
6. Click the Assign button and wait several seconds until a confirmation message
displays. Click Finish.

valid for the particular network segment you are working with. If you are
not sure, check with your systems administrator.
