Search for Servers 
Upon opening the 
ESP Manager
 software it will automatically 
execute Searching Server and search for all reachable ESR90x serial 
servers. 
Step 4:  
To manually initiate a search for servers, click 
Searching Servers
 
(under the 
Servers
 menu or the icon on the left side of the screen). 
The 
Search Setup
 box will appear.  
It provides two options for searching for servers on the network:  
ƒ  Specify the IP Address of the Serial Server 
ƒ  Search all reachable servers 
Step 5:
  Enter the 
IP Address
 assigned to the desired Serial Server or click 
Search all reachable servers, 
then 
OK.
 
IP Address
 is used to find 
Serial Server units that are not on the same subnet. (Routers on the 
network will block the standard broadcast used to find servers if 
Search all reachable servers
 is selected.) The user must set an IP 
address that conforms to the LAN addressing scheme. 
The Searching window is shown until all active Serial Servers on 
the LAN are listed in the 
Serial Server List 
window.
