Using Set Device IP

To reduce the effort required to set up IP addresses, the EDS-828 series comes equipped with DHCP/BootP

server and RARP protocol to set up IP addresses of Ethernet-enabled devices automatically.

When enabled, the Set device IP function allows the EDS-828 to assign specific IP addresses automatically to

connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In effect, the EDS-828 acts as a DHCP

server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address stored in its internal memory. Each time the

connected device is switched on or rebooted, the EDS-828 sends the device the desired IP address.

Take the following steps to use the Set device IP function:

STEP 1—set up the connected devices

Set up those Ethernet-enabled devices connected to the

EDS-828 for which you would like IP addresses to be assigned

automatically. The devices must be configured to obtain their

IP address automatically.

The devices’ configuration utility should include a setup page

that allows you to choose an option similar to Obtain an IP

address automatically.

For example, Windows’ TCP/IP Properties window is shown at

the right. Although your device’s configuration utility may look

quite a bit different, this figure should give you some idea of

what to look for.

You also need to decide which of the EDS-828’s ports your

Ethernet-enabled devices will be connected to. You will need to

set up each of these ports separately, as described in the

following step.

STEP 2

Configure the EDS-828’s Set device IP function, either from the Console utility or from the Web Browser

interface. In either case, you simply need to enter the Desired IP for each port that needs to be configured.

STEP 3

Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.

• When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking on the Activate button.

• When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press

Enter. You should receive the Set device IP settings are now active! (Press any key to continue)

message.
