Using Setup Mode for Configuration

DHCP Name

If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,
you can discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.

There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.

Default DHCP Name

: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are

using an IP of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX
is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side
of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the
default DHCP name is C123456.

Custom DHCP Name

: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are

using an IP address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is
Change DHCP device name

. This option allows you to change the DHCP

name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).

Figure 4-8. Custom DHCP Name

Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y
Enter new DHCP device name : LTX

Numeric DHCP Name:

You can change the DHCP name by specifying the

last octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is
LTXYY where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the
IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is LTX12. This
method only works with 2 digit numbers (0-99).

Channel 1 Configuration (Serial Port Parameters)

Using this option, define how the serial port will respond to network and serial
communications

.

Note:

You must enter some values in hexadecimal notation. For information

on converting from binary to hexadecimal, see

A::Binary to Hex Conversion.

Figure 4-10. Serial Port Parameters

Baudrate

The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on a speed or
baud rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and 230400 bits per second.
