IP Address Assignment

AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1)
Following is an overview of configurable features of the AnywhereUSB/2,
AnywhereUSB/5 (G2), and the AnywhereUSB/14 models.
There are several user interfaces for configuring and monitoring the
AnywhereUSB family, including:

The Digi Device Setup Wizard, a wizard-based tool for assigning
an IP address.

Web-based interface for configuring, monitoring, and
administering.

Telnet Command-Line Interface.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)l

AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility
There are several ways to assign an IP address to an AnywhereUSB:

Static IP: Assign a specific IP address to a device, through the
Digi Device Setup Wizard, the Web user interface, or the
Command-Line Interface.

Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The
AnywhereUSB device's default configuration is as a DHCP client.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet
protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use
TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP addresses,
to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the
subnet mask and default router, and to provide other configuration
information.

Auto Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP: A
standard protocol that will automatically assign an IP address from
a reserved pool of standard Auto-IP addresses to the computer on
which it is installed. The device is set to obtain its IP address
automatically from a DHCP server. But if the DHCP server is
unavailable or nonexistent, Auto-IP will assign the device an IP. If
DHCP is enabled or responds later or you use ADDP, both will
override the Auto-IP address previously assigned.
