IP settings
The IP settings for all Digi devices but Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch are as follows.
n Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP: When the Digi device is rebooted, it will
obtain new network settings.
n Use the following IP Address: Choose this option to supply static settings. An IP address and
Subnet mask must be entered. Other items are not mandatory, but may be needed for some
functions (such as talking to other networks).
n IP Address: An IP address is like a telephone number for a computer. Other network devices
talk to this Digi device using this ID.
The IP address is a 4-part ID assigned to network devices. IP addresses are in the form of
192.168.2.2, where each number is between 0 and 255.
n Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is combined with the IP address to determine which network
this Digi device is part of. A common subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
n Default Gateway: IP address of the computer that enables this Digi device to access other
networks, such as the Internet.
n Enable AutoIP address assignment: With AutoIP enabled, the Digi device will automatically
self-configure an IP address when an address is not available from other methods, for example,
when the Digi device is configured for DHCP and a DHCP server is not currently available.
IP Settings (for Connect ES 4/8 SB with Ethernet switch only)
This section describes configuring and deploying Digi Connect ES4/8 SB with Switch devices in a
network.
The Digi Connect ES4/8 SB with Switch has two Ethernet interfaces:
n Ethernet Uplink: An uplink interface that connects to the central data management system
network.
The uplink interface provides a single Internet Protocol (IP) address for all communication to
and from the devices at a single location. Network Address Translation (NAT) and port
forwarding provide seamless network access through the Digi Connect ES SB SW for all
Ethernet and serial devices at that location. DHCP or static addresses are used for IP address
assignment of the uplink interface.
