10/100 Secure Serial Servers

IP ADDRESSING

Your unit must have a unique IP address on your network.Two ways to assign

an IP are described below.

DHCP

Many networks use an automatic method of assigning an IP address called

DHCP. If you are unsure whether your network uses DHCP, check with your

systems administrator.

The Secure Serial Server looks for a DHCP server when it first powers up.The

unit has acquired an IP address if the red LED stops flashing and the green

Status LED is on continuously.You can use the DeviceInstaller software to search

the network for the IP your unit has been assigned by the DHCP server and add

it to the list of devices on the network. (See Add the Unit to the Manage List.)

If the Secure Serial Server does not acquire an IP, or you do not use DHCP, you

must assign a fixed IP address.

FIXED IP ADDRESS

In most installations, a fixed IP address is desirable. The systems administrator

generally provides the IP address.

The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the

same subnet as your PC.You’ll need the following information before you set up

the unit as described in Assign IP Address.

IP Address:

___ ___ ___ ___

Subnet Mask:

___ ___ ___ ___

Gateway:

___ ___ ___ ___

Quick Start Guide

Secure Serial Servers

The Secure Serial Servers allow serial devices

to securely connect to and communicate over

an Ethernet network.

This Quick Start explains how to connect,

configure, and troubleshoot your unit using

a network connection and our DeviceInstaller

software. For more detailed information or

alternative configuration methods, refer to the

User Guides on the CD.

CONFIGURE THE SECURE SERIAL SERVER

Once the unit is in the device list, it can be configured by means of several

options. Use the Web Configuration tab to open the Secure Serial Server Web

Configuration page. Use the Telnet Configuration tab to connect to the unit

by means of Telnet.

Note: For details about configuration settings, see the appropriate Secure Serial

Server User Guides.

LEDS/TROUBLESHOOT

The unit contains the following LEDs:

• Power

• 10 Mbps Link/Activity (green)

• 100 Mbps Link/Activity (green)

• Diagnostics (red)

• Status Channel 1 (green)

• Status Channel 2 (green)

Simultaneously lit red and green LEDs mean something is wrong. If the red LED

is lit or blinking, count the number of times the green LED blinks between its

pauses.The following table explains the LED functions.
