NPort S8000 Series
Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
Determine whether your NPort S8000 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or BOOTP
application).
•
If your NPort S8000 is used in a static IP environment, you will assign a specific IP address using one
of the tools described in this chapter.
If your NPort S8000 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
•
automatically over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP, BOOTP.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your NPort S8000 in the MAC-IP
mapping table when using a DHCP server or BOOTP server. For most applications, you should assign a fixed IP
address to your NPort S8000.
Factory Default IP Address
The NPort S8000 is configured with the following default private IP address:
192.168.127.254
Note that IP addresses that begin with "192.168" are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices configured
with a private IP address are not directly accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able
to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet connection. If your application requires
sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your NPort S8000 will need a valid public IP address,
which can be leased from a local ISP.
Configuration Options
Device Search Utility
You may configure your NPort S8000 with the bundled Device Search Utility (DSU) for Windows platform. Note
that you will be asked to enter the username and password to access the NPort S8000 device. The default
username is admin and the default password is moxa. Please refer to Chapter 5, "Use Real COM Mode to
Communicate with Serial Devices", for details on how to install and use the DSU.
Web Console
You may configure your NPort S8000 using a standard web browser. Note that you will be asked to enter the
username and password to access the NPort S8000 device. The default username is admin and the default
password is moxa. Please refer to Chapter 6, "Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration", for details on
how to access and use the NPort S8000 web console.
ARP
You may use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command to set up an IP address for your NPort S8000.
The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort S8000's MAC address with an IP address.
Afterwards, use Telnet to access the NPort S8000 and its IP address will be reconfigured.
Initial IP Address Configuration
