Basic Switching Function

The most basic function of MOXA EtherDevice Server is as an Ethernet
switch. To just make use of EDS's fast Ethernet switching capability, we
suggest using Model ED6008, which has 8 10/100BaseTX ports. In fact,
after taking EDS out of the box, you can immediately attach it to a power
source, plug Ethernet devices into the 10/100BaseTX ports, and then go
to work. EDS will provide the same reliable, fast Ethernet switching
ability provided by other high level switches.
EDS's fast Ethernet switching ability can be exploited in two basic ways:
ED6008 as a standalone switch
This type of setup allows you to provide up to 8 Ethernet-enabled devices
with the ability to communicate on their own isolated, private network. In
this case, you must set up the attached devices' network parameters so
that they all belong to the same subnetwork. For example, you could
configure the devices' IP addresses and netmasks as follows:
Port IP Address
1 192.168.127.1
2 192.168.127.2
...
8 192.168.127.8
