Chapter 5
Configuring the IP Address
The device server IP address can be configured using the following
methods:
•
With Digi Port Authority-Remote, a Digi utility on the Software and
Documentation CD.
•
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 20).
•
From the command line using the set config command ("Configuring
the Ethernet Interface from the Command Line" on page 21
•
Using a RARP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 22.)
•
Using a DHCP server ("Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and
RARP" on page 22.)
The IP address and mask can also be changed using the web interface.
This method, however, does not work for the initial IP address
configuration.
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:
Device
Digi One IA RealPort
Digi One RealPort
PortServer TS 2
PortServer TS 4
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 Configura-
tion" on page 19.
•
That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network.
