This chapter covers the steps for viewing the MatchPort device server’s properties
and device details.
The MatchPort’s default configuration is as follows:
 Network name: LTRX_IBSS
 Ad hoc mode
 No security
 BOOTP, DHCP, and AutoIP enabled.
The computer on which DeviceInstaller will be installed needs to have access to a
wireless card with the same settings. Set the IP address to 0.0.0.0.
Note: AutoIP generates a random IP address in the range 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254 if no BOOTP or DHCP server is found.
