The Pathport Communications Setup panel will pop up:
To set the correct network interface enter the IP address of the network interface
connected to the Pathport network in the Local IP Address box, then press the
OK button. Pathport Manager will attempt to discover all of the Pathport nodes
on the new interface as soon as the panel is closed.
Note: Depending on the operating system being used, it may be necessary to re-
start Pathport Manager before Pathport Nodes are discovered.
Use of Pathports and Pathport Manager with a BOOTP server:
Many operating systems rely on the use of Dynamic IP allocation for configuring
Local Area Network connections. If Pathports and Pathport Manager are used
with an external BOOTP server, Pathport Manager's saved local IP address
parameter may become 'out of sync' with the IP address assigned to the
machine. If no nodes are discovered after re-starting your machine ( but they
were discovered previously) it is likely that your PC's IP address, or the IP
address of your Pathports may have changed. To remedy the situation, first
verify the computer's IP address, then enter it as outlined above.
