Lantronix TSC 4092A IRIG-B - Manual (Page 11)

4092A Operations and Maintenance Manual 7
To monitor multiple 4092A units remotely through their Ethernet connections, you must assign
each unit a fixed IP address. You identify which unit is the source of an alarm by its IP address.
Follow the instructions in this section to assign a unit’s IP address.
Note
For more detailed information, see the Xport User Manual. Section 3.3 discusses several different
ways that you can assign IP addresses. Chapter 4 explains how to permanently configure the IP
address. You can download the Xport User Manual from the Lantronix® Web site as an Adobe®
Acrobat® PDF file. Go to:
http://www.lantronix.com/
If you want to permanently configure the IP address, you must install the Lantronix
DeviceInstaller software. This software is available only by downloading from the Lantronix Web
site. Go to: http://www.lantronix.com
You can also assign the IP address using Telnet.
Note
If you move the 4092A to a different network hub after setting up the static IP address, the host
computer may not be able to make a connection. You may need to release the IP address lease on
your operating system.
To assign the static IP address using the Lantronix DeviceInstaller software:
1. Obtain the following network information from your system administrator for each 4092A
you want to install:
IP Address: ______ ______ ______ ______
