To reduce the effort required to set up IP addresses, the EDS-408A/405A series comes equipped 
with DHCP/BootP server and RARP protocol to set up IP addresses of Ethernet-enabled devices 
automatically. 

When enabled, the Set device IP function allows the EDS to assign specific IP addresses 
automatically to connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In 
effect, the EDS acts as a DHCP server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address 
stored in the EDS’s internal memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or rebooted, 
the EDS sends the device the desired IP address. 

Take the following steps to use the Set device IP function: 

STEP 1—set up the connected devices 
Set up the Ethernet-enabled devices connected to the 
EDS for which you would like IP addresses to be 
assigned automatically. The devices must be 
configured to obtain their IP address automatically. 
The devices’ configuration utility should include a 
setup page that allows you to choose an option 
similar to Obtain an IP address automatically. 
For example, Windows’ TCP/IP Properties window 
is shown at the right. Although your device’s 
configuration utility may look quite a bit different, 
this figure should give you some idea of what to look 
for. 
You also need to decide which of the EDS’s ports 
your Ethernet-enabled devices will be connected to. 
You will need to set up each of these ports separately, 
as described in the next step. 

STEP 2 
Configure the EDS’s Set device IP function, either from the Console utility or from the Web 
Browser interface. In either case, you simply need to enter the Desired IP for each port that needs 
to be configured.
