Configuring the IP Address

2-3

Configuring the Ethernet Interface with DPA-Remote

Use this section to configure an initial IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using DPA-

Remote. This procedure cannot be used to change the IP address, but only to assign the initial IP

address. It also cannot be used if a DHCP server is active.

Starting Point

This procedure assumes the following:

• That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Devices That Support DPA-Remote and Ping-

ARP for IP Address Configuration" on page 2-2.

• That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network

• That the Digi device has DHCP client turned on. This is the default setting, so it will be on

unless it was turned off.

• That you do not have a DHCP server to serve IP address. If you do, use the DHCP procedure.

See "Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and RARP" on page 2-5.

• That you have installed DPA-Remote version 2.01.11or later. For information on installing DPA-

Remote, see the Digi Port Authority Remote Device Monitor Setup Guide, which is on the

Access Resource CD.

Procedure

1. Run DPA-Remote.

2. If DPA-Remote is not set for ADDP, choose ADDP as the Discovery Protocol.

3. Choose Discover.

A list of Digi devices appears. Systems with IP addresses of 0.0.0.0 need IP addresses.

4. Select a device from the list and then choose Configure.

5. Supply an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and then choose OK.

DPA-Remote configures the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
