Manage Device Server Tab
You can connect to Device Servers or assign a temporary IP address to a Device Server. Whenever
you connect to a Device Server through the DeviceManager, you connect as the Admin user and must
supply the password for the Admin user.
Populating the Device Server List
The first time you start the DeviceManager, the
Manage Device Server
tab will be empty. To add
Device Servers to the
Device Server List
, you can do either of the following:

Search Local Network
button. This searches the local network segment and
automatically displays any Device Servers it finds. Any Device Servers found by this method
will be displayed in

Servers that were displayed as
Dynamic
will not be there until you click the
Search Local
Network
button again.
z
Click the
Static Server List
button to add Device Servers to the
Device Server List
permanently. This also allows you to add Device Servers that are not found on the local network
segment with the
Search Local Network
button. To connect to a Device Server that is not in the
Device Server List and resides outside the local network, see

Assigning a Temporary IP Address to a New Device Server
If your network does not use DHCP/BOOTP, you can temporarily assign an IP address to a Device
Server that is connected to your local network segment, for the purpose of connecting to it and
downloading a configuration file (containing a permanent IP address). To temporarily assign an IP
address to a Device Server, do the following:
1.
Click the
Search Local Network
button. The Device Server will be displayed in the
IP Address
column as
Not Configured
.
2.
Select the new Device Server and click the
Assign IP
button. The following window is
displayed:
3.
Type a valid temporary IP address into the address field and click the
Assign IP
button.
4.
Double-click the Device Server in the
Device Server List
. If this is the first time you are
accessing the Device Server, type in the factory default Admin password,
superuser
, and click
OK
. The DeviceManager will display a window indicating that it is trying to authenticate and
connect you on the Device Server.
5.
If the authentication and connection are successful, the Server Info window is displayed. You are
now ready to configure the Device Server. If authentication was unsuccessful, try to connect to
the Device Server again; you probably mistyped the password for the Admin user.
