Chapter 2 Configuring the IP Address 11
Options for Configuring the IP Address and Mask
The device server IP address can be configured using the following
methods:
• With Digi Port Authority-Remote, a Digi utility
• By updating the ARP table on a server and then pinging the Digi
device (called ARP-Ping)
• From the command line using the set config command (Configuring
the Ethernet Interface from the Command Line)
• Using a RARP server
• Using a DHCP server
The IP address and mask can also be changed using the web interface.
This method, however, does not work for the initial IP address
configuration.
