  • Page 23: Ip Address Assignment

    Before using the converter, you need to assign IP address to built-in XPort. LINEEYE’s factory setting automatically assigns IP address by DHCP function and AutoIP function. If you have you own management rule to provide IP address, you need to assign the IP address for your network by yourself.
  • Page 24 be disabled. Setting it to 0.0.1.0 keeps the DHCP function enable, and only makes the AutoIP function disable. Using the Device Installer The Included CD-ROM contains a utility “Device Installer” for setup. Note: Depending on when the product was shipped, the firmware version of built-in XPort is different.
  • Page 25 (If there are devices other than SI-60F/SI-60/SI-65 using XPort on the network, they are also listed in a table..) Select what matches the hardware address for the device being set from the table.
  • Page 26 Note: We recommend you to disable DHCP and BOOTP or always keep Auto-IP effective because when failing in the address assignment, Device Installer cannot detect SI-60F/SI-60/SI-65 even if DHCP, BOOTP or both are effective. The screen and steps will be different in each version of DeviceInstaller. For more details...
  • Page 27 Using ARP and Telnet If you know the IP address for XPort, you can change the address by connecting the normal Telnet. However, if not at the first setup or other conditions, you can conduct the setup for IP address by connecting the Telnet following the following procedure. The following operation is for windows command prompt (DOS prompt).
