Configuring a New IP Address
MULTINET4 MULTI-PORT SERIAL SERVER & MANAGED SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The EnerVista Multinet4 Setup software or the Web Administrator interface or CLI interface
can be used to manage and configure the Multinet4. The EnerVista Multinet4 Setup
software is the preferred method to edit the most common used setting. The setup
software connects to the unit through the Ethernet port.
Multinet4 is implemented by an easily upgradeable software image and by configuration
files.
Software images can be upgraded with the EnerVista Multinet4 Setup > Maintenance >
Upload Firmware, which loads an executable software image into non-volatile memory.
Configuration files can be maintained and upgraded with EnerVista Multinet4 Setup >
Advanced Setting > Administration > Configuration screen.
The Multinet4 comes with a factory-supplied software image and configuration file. After
you have completed the hardware installation you need only replace the default IP address
with another that places your PC and the Multinet4 on the same subnet. You can then
access the Multinet4's supervisory software and begin to configure your system.
The Multinet4 Serial Port Server & Managed Switch is delivered with a default IP address
192.168.1.2. The user must change this address to one that is valid on the user's network.
The Multinet4 Setup software provides a fast way to configure a new IP address through
the Ethernet Port. (By factory default, only E4 is enabled.)
1.
Make sure the IP address for the PC running the Multinet4 Setup Software is in
the same subnet as the new desired IP for the Multinet4.
•
In this example, the desired New IP information of the Multinet4 is
3.94.247.232 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
•
The IP setting for the PC is configured as 3.94.247.100 with subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0.
2.
Launch EnerVista Multinet4 Setup > Device Setup, then click Add site, and
then click Add Device. By default, the device will be shown as configured over
192.168.1.2 in the IP Address field as shown below.
3.
Enter the desired network parameters (New IP address, subnet mask and
gateway) of the Multinet4 into the Network settings field.
