Ethernet Switch: A four-port switch that creates a Local Area Network (LAN).
n
The LAN switch provides network connectivity for up to four network devices, in addition to the
Digi Connect ES SB SW which provides four or eight isolated RS-232 serial ports. The default IP
address for the LAN interface of the Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch is 192.168.1.1. The
other network devices connected to the Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch share this same
Class C network address scheme (192.168.1.x). A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server is provided on this interface to allow dynamic assignment of devices as well.
The following figure shows the location of the Ethernet Uplink and Switch ports on the product:
Because the LANs attached to each Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch are typically not connected to
each other, equipment can have static network addresses and be moved from one location to another
without needing to be reconfigured. The central data management system can easily communicate
with the equipment by addressing the appropriate Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch device. The
Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch uses NAT and port forwarding to make the connection.
See Configure the Ethernet interface for Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch
