8.5.3. Determining a Dynamically Assigned IP Address
(DHCP Mode)
The DeviceInstaller software application (See Section 8.5) can be used to search a network for
instruments and determine the IP Address assigned by a DHCP server.
1. Click Start->Programs->Lantronix DeviceInstaller->DeviceInstaller. If your PC
has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click OK.
2. Click on the Search icon. After a moment a list of instruments on the network will be
displayed. The M465L should be listed as an XPORT-IAP type device.
3. Double-click on the device in the right-hand section of the
DeviceInstaller window; a list
of configuration parameters will be shown, including the IP Address. If multiple devices
are shown, the correct one can be determined by matching the Hardware Address shown
with the address printed on the label of the Ethernet module in the M465L. Note that the
instrument cover must be removed to inspect this address in the instrument.
8.5.4. Manually Assigning a Static IP Address
For applications where the IP Address must remain constant, a static IP Address can be manually
assigned to the instrument and the DHCP function must be disabled.
1. Click Start->Programs->Lantronix DeviceInstaller->DeviceInstaller. If your PC
has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click OK.
Note: If the unit already has an IP address (e.g., DHCP has assigned an IP
address), click the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix
device servers on the local network.
2. Click the Assign IP icon.
3. If prompted, enter the hardware address (on the product label) and click Next.
4. Select Assign a specific IP address and click Next.
5. Enter the IP address. The Subnet mask displays automatically based on the IP
address; if desired, you may change it. On a local network, you can leave the Default
gateway blank (all zeros). Click Next.
6. Click the Assign button and wait several seconds until a confirmation message displays.
Click Finish.
7. Select the device from the main window list and select Ping from the Tools menu. The
Ping Device dialog box shows the IP address of the selected unit.
8. From the Tools menu, click the Ping button. The results display in the Status window.
Click the Clear Status button to clear the window so you can ping the device again.
Note: If you do not receive “Reply” messages, make sure the unit is properly
attached to the network and that the IP address assigned is valid for the
particular network segment you are working with. If you are not sure, check with
your systems administrator.
9. Click the Close button to close the dialog box and return to the main window.
