Chapter 2 Configuring the IP Address 15
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 Software and Documentation CD and the wizard automatically
pops up letting you choose Microsoft Windows platform or UNIX
platform. If you have a UNIX system and the wizard does not pop
up, 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. See "IP Address with Digi Port Authority-
Remote" on page 16.
• From the command line, using the set config command. See the
Digi Command Reference for more details including syntax and
supported devices.
• 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 16).
• Using a DHCP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 17.)
• Using a RARP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 17.)
The IP address and mask can also be changed using the web interface,
but not for initial IP address configuration.
Configuring the IP Address with Wizard
Configure the IP Address with the wizard found on the Software and
Documentation CD. The wizard is the preferred method for configuring the
Digi device and available in both Microsoft Windows platform and UNIX
platform. If you have a UNIX platform without auto-mount, use the back of
the Quick Start guide for mounting instructions.
1. Insert the CD (the wizard automatically pops up)
2. Select your platform.
3. Follow the wizard by answering the prompts. When the wizard is
complete, you will be prompted to run the RealPort software (if your
configuration calls for it.) Follow the prompts for complete installation.
