Moxa VPort P26A-1MP-T [17/23] Network environment with dhcp server

- 17 -

Software Installation

Step 1: Configure the VPort 26A-1MP’s IP address

When the VPort 26A-1MP is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self

Test) will run for a few moments. The System LED will turn green when

the POST is complete. The 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LED will then flash as the

IP address is assigned. The network environment determines how the IP

address is assigned.

Network Environment with DHCP Server

For this network environment, the unit’s IP address will be assigned by

the network’s DHCP server. Refer to the DHCP server’s IP address table to

determine the unit’s assigned IP address. You may also use the Moxa

VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe), as described

below:

Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility

(edscfgui.exe)

1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort. After the

utility’s window opens, you may click on the Search button to

initiate a search.

2. When the search has concluded, the Model Name, MAC address, IP

address, serial port, and HTTP port of the VPort will be listed in the

utility’s window.

NOTE

The Serial

number is th

e production serial number of this VPort,

and the HTTP Port number is the http port used by this VPort.

3. Users can double click the selected VPort, or use the IE web browser

to access the VPort’s web-based manager (web server).

Non DHCP Server Network Environment

If your VPort 26A-1MP is connected to a network that does not have a

DHCP server, then you will need to configure the IP address manually.

The default IP address of the VPort 26A-1MP is 192.168.127.100 and the

default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change

your computer’s IP address and subnet mask so that the computer is on

the same subnet as the VPort.

To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web

server, and then navigate to the System Configuration  Network 

General page to configure the IP address and other network settings.

Check the Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you

assign is not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
