n Ethernet Switch: A four-port switch that creates a Local Area Network (LAN).
The LAN switch provides network connectivity for up to four network devices, in addition to the
Digi Connect ES SB SW which provides four or eight isolated RS-232 serial ports. The default IP
address for the LAN interface of the DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch is 192.168.1.1. The
other network devices connected to the DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch share this same
Class C network address scheme (192.168.1.x). ADynamicHost Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server is provided on this interface to allow dynamic assignment of devices as well.
The following figure shows the location of the Ethernet Uplink and Switch ports on the product:
Because the LANs attached to each DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch are typically not connected to
each other, equipment can have static network addresses and be moved from one location to another
without needing to be reconfigured. The central data management system can easily communicate
with the equipment by addressing the appropriate Digi ConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch device. The
DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch uses NAT and port forwarding to make the connection.
See Configure the Ethernet interface for Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch for instructions on configuring
the network topology just described.
Configure the Ethernet interface for Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch
These steps apply to a single DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch and its connected Ethernet and serial
devices and must be performed for each DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch deployed.
To configure the Ethernet interface for each ConnectES 4/8 SB with Switch:
1. Connect a laptop to one of the Ethernet Switch ports on the
DigiConnectES4/8SBwithSwitch and open the web interface.
The recommended IP address settings for the laptop are as follows:
n IP Address: 192.168.1.99
n Subnet: 255.255.255.0
n Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
