IP Address Configuration Methods
IP Address Configuration Methods
An IP address can be assigned to the device server using
any of the following methods:
• Setup, a Digi application that “discovers” the device and
then provides a method for assigning an IP address. See
"Configuring the IP Address with Setup" on page 13.
• DHCP. The device server’s default configuration is as a
DHCP client. See "Configuring the IP Address with
DHCP" on page 14.
• ARP-Ping, which enables IP address assignment by
updating the ARP tables on a PC with the device server’s
MAC address and then pinging the device server. See
"Configuring an IP Address with ARP-Ping" on page 14.
• A web browser. This method works only for changing the
IP address of a device server that has already been
assigned one. See "Changing an IP Address from a Web
Browser" on page 15.
