Once the TCP/IP network port is configured on the Q53, additional configuration is
required to connect the Q53 to the local ZigBee Personal Area Network (PAN), and also
to bridge that local PAN to another remote PAN over TCP/IP. Please refer to

configuration.
Required TCP/IP Settings
Configuring an initial IP address for the Q53
Since the Q53 has no physical user interface such as a display or keyboard, all operating
parameters must be configured by means of a TCP/IP network connection from a
separate computer. However, the Q53 must first be assigned an IP address in order to
function on a TCP/IP network. This raises the question of how to configure a Q53 when
it is first installed on the network fresh from the factory.

function on a TCP/IP network. This raises the question of how to configure a Q53 when
it is first installed on the network fresh from the factory.
As delivered from the factory, the Q53 is configured to request an IP address from a
DHCP server when attached to a TCP/IP network. If a DHCP server exists on the
network, then the IP address assigned to the Q53 may be determined by querying the
DHCP server using its administration interface and locating the IP address of the desired
Q53 by matching its Ethernet MAC address. Please refer to the documentation for the
particular DHCP server used to determine how this may be done.

As an alternative, Exegin provides a utility program called Gecko which is capable of
locating any configured or unconfigured Q53 device attached to the TCP/IP subnet, and
assigning an initial IP address to it to facilitate subsequent configuration through a telnet
or HTTP connection. Please refer to
