Using the ExtendView Utility to Configure the Serial Device Server
(Ethernet Connection)
The ExtendView Utility is the easiest way to initially configure the Serial Device Server from a Windows
PC because it allows you to directly set the IP address into an unconfigured Serial Device Server, and it
allows you to view the IP addresses of all of the Serial Device Servers on your network. It has limited
capabilities for configuring 802.1X authentication, but it can be used in conjunction with either the internal
web pages or the internal command console for complete configuration capabilities.
ExtendView is a component of the CD-ROM that is included with the Serial Device Server, or it can be
downloaded from the Silex website. To install ExtendView, simply follow the on-screen installation
instructions. The Serial Device Server configuration procedure is as follows (please note that the screens
may be slightly different than shown, depending on the Serial Device Server model and the firmware and
software revision levels).
1. Start the ExtendView Utility by clicking on
Start, Programs, silex technology,
ExtendView, and then ExtendView.
2. When the Welcome screen appears, click on
Next, choose any name for your View Name,
select Automatically create a view with
default settings (or configure the view to
your preferences), and then click Finish.
NOTE: Skip this section if you do not have a Windows PC or if you do not have an Ethernet connection available for
configuring your Serial Device Server wireless model.
