Configure an IP address using DHCP

A IP address can also be configured using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

If desired, set up a permanent entry for the Digi device device on a DHCP server. While

this is not necessary to obtain an IP address via DHCP, setting up a permanent entry means

the IP address is saved when the device is rebooted. For more information on DHCP

server configuration, see "DHCP server settings" on page 77.

Configure an IP address using Auto-IP

The standard protocol Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA or Auto-IP) assigns the

IP address from the reserved IP addresses in Auto-IP. Use ADDP or DHCP to find the

device and assign it a new IP address that compatible with your network. Once the unit is

plugged in, Auto-IP automatically assigns the IP address.
