    That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network Procedure 1. Record the MAC address of the Digi device. It’s on the back of the unit. 2. Access a server on the same subnet as the Digi device. 3. Manually update the server’s ARP table using the Digi device’s MAC address and the IP address you want assigned to the Digi device.
