Server machine; but, you do need to make some configuration
changes:
•
Reserved IPs: Remove the reservation from the DHCP scope
for the original subnet and create a new reservation in the
DHCP scope for the new subnet. Proceed to step 6.
•
Static IPs: With the vNet or Digi Device still connected at its
original location, log into the vNet or Digi web interface. In
the address bar of a web browser, type the IP address of the
Device. (The IP of your Device can be found using Device Dis-
covery, if you are on the same subnet as the Device.)
•
At the login screen, login as 'root' user and supply the
password. The default password is 'dbps'. If you have not
changed the password, use the default.
