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.
