Chapter 4)

Using Device Installer to Assign an IP Address
To use Device Installer to Assign an IP address:
42. Click the Assign IP icon, press F7, or on the Device menu, select
Assign IP Address. The Assign IP Address wizard appears.
If a specific MES1A/B device is not selected in the Devices Tree,
the first page of the wizard will ask for the Hardware (MAC)
Address of the device to be configured. You will find the Hardware
Address of your particular MES1A/B on a sticker attached to the
device. Type the Hardware Address into the wizard and click next.
43. Since the MES1A/B is pre-configured to use DHCP (its IP address
is pre-configured for 0.0.0.0 which causes it to use DHCP).
Therefore, do not use the Obtain an IP address automatically
option in the wizard.
44. If you wish to assign a different IP address to the MES1A/B, select
Assign a specific IP address and click Next. The IP Settings page
of the wizard appears.
45. Type the desired IP address into the appropriate text box.
