Ethernet IP Settings
The Ethernet IP settings for all Digi device but Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch are as follows.
 Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP: When the Digi device is rebooted,
it will obtain new network settings.Use the Digi Device Setup Wizard to find the Digi
device, since it will likely have a new address.
 Use the following IP Address: Choose this option to supply static settings. An IP
address and Subnet mask must be entered. Other items are not mandatory, but may be
needed for some functions (such as talking to other networks).
 IP Address: An IP address is like a telephone number for a computer. Other network
devices talk to this Digi device using this ID.
The IP address is a 4-part ID assigned to network devices. IP addresses are in the form
of 192.168.2.2, where each number is between 0 and 255.
 Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is combined with the IP address to determine which
network this Digi device is part of. A common subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
 Default Gateway: IP address of the computer that enables this Digi device to access
other networks, such as the Internet.
 Enable AutoIP address assignment: With AutoIP enabled, the Digi device will
automatically self-configure an IP address when an address is not available from other
methods, for example, when the Digi device is configured for DHCP and a DHCP
server is not currently available.
