CN2600 Series

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses

Determine whether your CN2600 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or BOOTP/PPPoE
application).
• If your CN2600 terminal server is used in a static IP environment, you will assign a specific IP
address using one of the tools described in this chapter.
• If your CN2600 terminal server is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
automatically from over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP,
BOOTP, or PPPoE.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your CN2600 in the MAC-IP
mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. For most applications, you should assign a fixed
IP address to your CN2600.

Factory Default IP Address

The CN2600 is configured with the following default private IP addresses:
192.168.126.254 and 192.168.127.254
Note that IP addresses that begin with "192.168" are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices configured
with a private IP address are not directly accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able
to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet connection. If your application requires
sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your CN2600 will need a valid public IP address,
which can be leased from a local ISP.

Configuration Options

Terminal Server Search Utility

You may configure your CN2600 with the bundled NPort Search Utility for Windows. Please refer to Chapter 9
Software Installation/Configuration, for details on how to install and use Terminal Server Search Utility.

Web Console

You may configure your CN2600 using a standard web browser. Please refer to Chapter 5, Configuration with
the Web console, for details on how to access and use the CN2600 web console.

LCM Console/Front Panel

The CN2600 only gives you the option to configure some settings through the front panel, also known as the
LCM (Liquid Crystal Module) console. The LCM console can be configured for read-only or writeable access.
Read-only access allows settings to be viewed but not changed. Factory default settings are for writeable
access, where configuration is allowed through the LCM console.
NOTE The wide temperature model does not have an LCM Display panel and push buttons. The LCM description below
applies only to standard temperature models.
