Device Support: Digi Port Authority-Remote and ARP-Ping for IP Address Configuration
Not all Digi devices can use Digi Port Authority-Remote and ARP-Ping for IP address configuration. To
determine if you can use these features, find the hardware label on your Digi device and then use the table below
to determine whether this feature is available:
Configuring the Ethernet Interface with Digi Port Authority-Remote
Use this section to configure an initial IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using Digi Port Authority-
Remote. This procedure cannot be used to change the IP address, but only to assign the initial IP address. It also
cannot be used if a DHCP server is active.
Starting Point
This procedure assumes the following:
• That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Device Support: Digi Port Authority-Remote and ARP-Ping
for IP Address Configuration" on page 13.
• That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network
• That the Digi device has DHCP client turned on. This is the default setting, so it will be on unless it was
turned off.
• That you do not have a DHCP server to serve IP address. If you do, use the DHCP procedure. See "Configur-
ing an IP Address using DHCP and RARP" on page 15.
• That you have installed Digi Port Authority-Remote version 2.01.11or later. For information on installing
Digi Port Authority-Remote, see the Digi Port Authority Remote Device Monitor Setup Guide, which is on the
Access Resource CD.
Procedure
1. Run Digi Port Authority-Remote.
2. If Digi Port Authority-Remote is not set for ADDP, choose ADDP as the Discovery Protocol.
3. Choose Discover.
A list of Digi devices appears. Systems with IP addresses of 0.0.0.0 need IP addresses.
4. Select a device from the list and then choose Configure.
5. Supply an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and then choose OK.
Digi Port Authority-Remote configures the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
