    2.2 Ethernet The Serial.link will obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP. If the DHCP server can’t provide an IP or is unavailable, the Serial.link will be on a fixed IP address after a delay of 20 seconds (192.168.2.241). The Serial.link configuration tool allows you to discover Serial.links on the local network and change the IP configuration.
  • Page 10 Serial.link Manual In case the Serial.link can’t be discovered automatically, you can enter the IP address manually using the Add manually button. By pressing the Flash button, the corresponding Serial.link will start flashing green for 5 seconds. Finally select the Serial.link and press Select to continue configuring the Serial.link Ethernet settings.
