Configuring the Serial Device Server
Part Number 140-00188-180
3. Right-click on the Serial Device Server that
you want to configure from the displayed list,
and then left-click on Configuration. The
default Serial Device Server name is
SLXxxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits
of the MAC address from the label that is
affixed to the Serial Device Server).
4. If you do not have a DHCP server, you will be
asked to manually enter an IP address (if you
are not sure what IP address to enter, ask
your network administrator). Click OK when
you are finished.
5. The Server Configuration window will appear.
Check the IP address setting to make sure it
is correct. If necessary, change the Subnet
Mask and Gateway. If you have a WINS
server, enter its address or click Use DHCP
to Locate WINS Server. If desired, you can
configure advanced TCP/IP settings by
clicking the Advanced TCP/IP button (refer to
Chapter 5 for information). This advanced
configuration can be done at a later time,
however.
NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the SX-500
should have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no
further configuration is necessary. However, for some
installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your
DHCP server does not allow the SX-500 to keep its
assigned IP address permanently, then you must
manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a static
IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your
DHCP server documentation for details). To assign a
static IP address, select Set Permanent as the IP Address
Resolution, and assign a valid static IP address for your
network. Click on OK to save the new settings.
