NPort 6000 Series Software Installation/Configuration
Configuring Device Search Utility (DSU)
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NPort 6000 servers that are connected to the same LAN as
your computer. After locating an NPort 6000, you will be able to change its IP address.
Since the Broadcast Search function searches by MAC address and not IP address, all NPort 6000 servers
connected to the LAN will be located, regardless of whether or not they are part of the same subnet as the host.
1. Open DSU and then click the Search icon.
The Searching window indicates the progress of the search.
2. When the search is complete, all NPort 6000 servers that were located will be displayed in the DSU window.
Select the device you wish to access and press the UnLock button to input the username and password for
the device. (The username is mandatory for NPort 6000 series installed with firmware v1.14 and above.)
To modify the configuration of the highlighted NPort 6000, click on the Console icon to open the web console.
This will take you to the web console, where you can make all configuration changes. Please refer to
Chapter 5, Configuration with the Web Console, for information on how to use the web console.
