Configuring the Serial Server via an Ethernet Connection
For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the ExtendView Utility is the recommended method of configuring one or
more Serial Servers on your network. Once the Serial Server obtains an IP address (occurs automatically when the
unit is powered ON and connected to a DHCP network), the ExtendView Utility’s auto-discovery feature will search
for and locate all Serial Severs on the network and then display the IP address for each discovered Serial Server.

5. Configure the 802.11b/g wireless settings (for wireless models only). To operate on an 802.11b/g
network, the Serial Server configuration must be set to the same configuration as your wireless
network to allow the Serial Server to communicate over your wireless network. All nodes of a
wireless network need to have the same settings to allow communication between the devices.

NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the Serial Server should have acquired valid IP settings at this point
and no further configuration is necessary. However, for most installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your
DHCP server does not allow the Serial Server to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually
assign an IP address. In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP
server documentation for details). To assign a static IP address, right-click on the Serial Server in the menu, and
then select Configuration. On the TCP/IP tab, under IP Address Resolution, select Set Permanent, and assign a valid
static IP address for your network. Click on OK to save the new settings.
