XPort™ User Guide 12

3: Getting Started

This chapter covers the steps for getting the XPort device server online and working.

Required Information

Hardware Address

You need to know the unit’s hardware address (also known as MAC address), which

is on the product label. It is in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs are

unique numbers assigned to the product.

Hardware Address: 00-20-4a-_____-_____-_____

IP Address

The XPort must have a unique IP address on the network. The systems administrator

generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The

IP address must be within a valid range, unique to the network, and in the same

subnet as the PC.

IP Address: _______ _______ _______ _______

Subnet Mask: _______ _______ _______ _______

Gateway: _______ _______ _______ _______

Using DeviceInstaller to Assign an IP Address

The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correctly on a network.

You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you

manually assign the IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller software,

which is on the product CD.

Note: To use a serial connection instead of an Ethernet connection to configure the

device, see Using the Serial Port on page 22.

Installing DeviceInstaller

1. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD automatically starts and

displays the main window.

2. If the CD does not launch automatically:

1 2 ... 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ... 56 57
